Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

China is the only country in the world with a long glorious history of tea. That is why, no other civilization in the world can boast of a tea tradition that is older than 5000 years. Hence it is little wonder that China is the biggest producer of tea in the world. It produced around 2,400 million kg in 2016, which is increasing significantly each year. No surprise that, in Chinese culture, tea is one of the seven basic necessities of life. Others are firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Tea is inseparably woven into the history and culture of China.
