China
China is the birthplace of tea. The Emperors of thousands of years ago used to perk themselves up after a busy day ruling their empire by drinking a few cups of tea. And it may well have been Pai Mu Tan, which you can order from All About Tea.co.uk today! Or perhaps it was the very tips of the same tea, known as Silver Needle - possibly the most exclusive and rarified tea in the world. Yes, you can order that too.
