China is the earliest country to plant, produce and drink tea. It is also a big exporter of tea. The pronunciation of the character "tea" in most countries in the world is a variation from the Chinese character "茶" (cha). China has a long history of 5,000 years. Not only has the fragrance of Chinese tea spread to all parts of the world, but also the pronunciation of "茶" (cha) has also spread to all four corners of the globe.
