Default Tea from Non Traditional Tea Producing Countries

Buy any Indonesian tea that contains the word Java. Youll have to
find a tea shoppe that carries a selection. In the Asian stores look
for the Vietnamese tea packaging Thai Nguyen Tra. This is the
unscented green tea from Thai Nguyen province. The Asian brand
YamoMotoYama tea plantations are in of all places Brazil. Kenya is
another large exporter of teas.
