Where did Tea originate?

Tea originated in China during the 16th Century and became popular in Britain in the 17th Century.  

 

The British then introduced tea to India in the 1820s.  Popular regions are Assam and Darjeeling.

 

In 1824 the British bought a tea plant from China to Sri Lanka (Nuwara Eliya and Kandy).
