Asian Green Tea

Asian Green Tea

Korean Green Tea
Chinese and Japanese green teas may be more widely known than Korean green tea, but tea is very much part of Korean culture, and there are varieties of traditional Korean green tea. Korean green teas are more rare, and therefore more expensive. Tea gardens in Jeju and Boseong produce green teas on an industrial scale. Korean green tea varieties include Ujeon, Sejak, and Jungjak.

Sri Lanka Ceylon Tea
Sri Lanka's tea industry was financed and developed by Thomas Lipton in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today, tea is an important industry in Sri Lanka, and provides employment either directly or indirectly to over a million people.

Vietnamese Green Tea
The Vietnamese tea industry has experienced substantial growth in recent years, with the aim to provide tea internationally on a larger scale. Teas are grown in the lush midland area of Vietnam.
