China is widely credited with making tea famous throughout the world.
While the exact origins of tea consumption are debated, historical evidence strongly suggests that tea originated in China thousands of years ago. Over centuries, China cultivated diverse varieties of tea, developed sophisticated tea ceremonies, and established tea as a central part of its culture. Through trade routes like the Silk Road, tea gradually spread to other parts of Asia and eventually to the West. The popularity of tea in China fueled its export and, consequently, its rise to global prominence.
