How much is ‘all the tea in China’ worth?

Posted by Bill Belew on February 1st, 2007 in All about China | No Comments

We used to say it all the time…I wouldn't do that for all the tea in China.

Well, if the tea in China was worth then what it is now, maybe I would have reconsidered.

China' tea exports hit a record $547 million last year… up 12.98%.

More than 287,000 tons of tea bags were shipped here, there and everywhere. Wow, that's a lot of cups of tea.

The top three kinds of tea:all.the.tea.in.china.jpg

1. Green tea – 219,000 tons

2. black tea 31,500

3. oolong tea – 21,000

The top four importers of Chinese tea – Morocco, United States, Russia and Japan.

China plans to hold the 2007 International Tea Convention and Expo in Changsha. Gee, maybe I'll skip the Olympics and opt for the Int'l Tea Expo instead.

Do you have your tickets?

China was the globe's number two tea maker.

Number one….India.

So, what don't we say 'all the tea in India?

What do you think?
