China has been cultivating tea for over 5000 years. Tea is grown almost everywhere in China. Most of the green tea as well as the Oolong teas come from the provinces of Anhui, Zheijiang and Fujian. The black teas – which are almost all exported, are produced in the provinces of Yunnan, Hunan and Sichuan. China black teas tend to be slightly smoky, sweet and full bodied. The most famous of the China blacks is Keemun.
