About Georgian Tea
Georgian tea? Most people think of Georgia as the birthplace of wine and the location of the mighty Caucasus mountains, not as a place for excellent tea. However, tea has been produced in Georgia for more than 170 years, taking advantage of the perfect tea-growing climate and soil of western Georgia’s subtropical hills. During the Soviet Union, Georgia grew to be the world’s fourth largest producer of tea, filling the cups of millions of people across the former USSR. Today, dedicated artisans keep the traditions of Georgian tea alive, creating high-quality products for a wide variety of markets around the world. Read on to learn the fascinating story of Georgia’s tea traditions.
