Tea is grown in Myanmar, Thailand and Japan.Whether the statement is true or false.
Camellia sinensis, the leaves and leaf buds of which are used to produce tea, originated in Southeast Asia. Tea in Myanmar is grown mainly on the Shan plateau in Shan state, which is home to the most diverse number of ethnic races in all of Myanmar. The region has a cool, favorable climate that is ideal for tea production. Laphet is the most popular tea in Myanmar.
In the remote northern regions of Thailand stately indigenous tea trees flourish in the tropical climate of the heavily forested mountainous Chiang Rai Province. Anthropologists and tea historians believe the birthplace of tea to be adjoining areas of remote jungle wilderness that runs from Assam, India to China's southern Yunnan province, across the top of Laos and what today is Myanmar, down into northern Thailand, and across the northern regions of Vietnam.
Japan is a major tea-producing and consuming region, especially of green tea. Japan is in the top 10 tea-producing countries in the world. Tea plays an integral role in Japanese culture. Japan exports a relatively small portion of its tea; in 2006 it was the 8th largest producer but exported less than 2% of its production.
