I just found some really interesting new tea plantations/gardens.
After the one in Nantes (France), http://tinyurl.com/3o354u8.
I read in Tea and Coffee Asia about one in Switzerland http://tinyurl.com/3qxccqu, one in Cornwall (United Kingdom) http://tinyurl.com/63q262h, one in Washington (USA) http://tinyurl.com/3qrh4fhThey also mentioned two that should become operational in the near future, one in California http://tinyurl.com/454gho7 and the other one on Vancouver Island http://tinyurl.com/4xahsxz

Portugal, we talked about it. 😀
I remember that it was not in mainland Portugal but in some of the islands (although I don’t remember which one). -

AnonymousInactive@Argentina? As of May 2011, 41.9% of the tea imported into the US was from Argentina – mostly used in commercial and teabag blends and RTD’s

AnonymousInactive@Peter, the figures are compiled by the Tea Association of the U.S.A., Inc. based on USDA-FAS and Bureau of Census Reports. They are published monthly on the Tea Associations website in the Members Only section.
