Abstract
Although in China tea plants have been cultivated in traditional small holdings for more than 2,000 years, tea cultivation as an estate crop started in India only around 1820. Tea growing areas have expanded into several tropical countries since around 1870, when in some countries such as Sri Lanka the severe damage of coffee plantations by Coffee Rust disease occasioned a search for new sites for tea (Eden 1976). Now tea areas are distributed from warm-temperate to tropical areas, ranging from Georgia, USSR, latitude 43°N, to Corrientes, Argentina, latitude 27°S (Harler 1974).
