Immerse yourself in lush green tea hills across Asia

According to Chinese legend, Shennong was sitting under a tree waiting for his maid to boil water to drink when a few leaves flew from somewhere. It is not known whether by accident or on purpose, they fell into his cup of water. And from that, delicious cups of tea were born. Gradually, people drank tea as a habit, an elegant pleasure indispensable in daily life. Thanks to that, China in particular and Asia in general have owned the largest tea hills in the world.

India

As one of the largest tea-producing countries in Asia, this country on the banks of the Ganges River owns many beautiful tea hills that attract tourists to check-in every year.

Perhaps due to the different climate and geology, the taste of Indian tea also has its own unique and unmistakable characteristics. Some famous teas here are Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Dooars, Kangra and Terai...

China

It would be remiss to mention tea hills in Asia without mentioning China. One of the most famous tea growing areas here is in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province.

With a tea growing tradition of nearly 1,000 years, Long Tinh tea in Hangzhou has a very unique mark that makes people remember it forever after drinking it once. That unique feature comes from the emerald green color of the tea leaves, the very special gentle aroma and the extremely sharp shape of the tea leaves.

In the past, Long Tinh tea was favored by many kings. Nowadays, this place is a place to preserve the long-standing tea-drinking culture of the Chinese people.

Japan

Not only famous for its tea ceremony, Japan is also known for its green tea hills, the most beautiful in Asia. If you are just going to visit the scenery, you should go to the green tea city of Wazuka in Japan to see the unique tea gardens with long, straight rows, completely different from other places.

If you come to Japan with the intention of enjoying tea, then visiting Uji province is the right place. With a tradition dating back to 1202, Uji is famous as the largest tea producer in Japan. Some famous teas here are Gyokuro, Sencha, Tamaryokucha and Bancha…

Indonesia

When talking about tea plantations in Asia, of course we cannot fail to mention Indonesia. In the islands of Sumatra and Java of this beautiful country, people have been producing tea since the early 19th century. Although black tea is mainly produced here, there is also a small amount of green tea.

Indonesia is now the 5th largest tea producer in the world. The teas here come in a variety of flavors and are even better when served with milk.

Vietnam

Besides rice, tea is also widely grown in Vietnam and has made our country one of the largest exporters in the world. As for tourists, the image of lush green tea hills in the northern provinces such as Phu Tho, Moc Chau, Thai Nguyen... is the driving force that urges them to hit the road.

In Vietnam, the most popular type of tea is green tea. However, to meet the needs of customers, there are also many different variations of tea such as tea scented with Sambac Jasminum flowers, for example.

Malaysia

In Asia, Malaysia is a small tea producer. The country's main tea is black and loose leaf tea, typically "teh tarik", a traditional Malaysian hot milk tea.

The name “teh tarik” comes from the preparation process. Typically, the brewer will continuously pour the tea from one cup to another, creating a thick layer of foam to create a smooth and creamy foam. The thicker the foam, the better the tea flavor.
