∙ 6y agoTea grows in tropical and subtropical areas. In the warmest regions of the world, such as Taiwan, it can be grown at a rather high altitude, whereas in colder climates, such as the east coast of the U.S., it can only be grown at low altitudes in sheltered areas, such as coastal South Carolina.
Tea is mostly grown in countries in South and Southeast Asia including China, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and the like, and also in Africa, such as Kenya, Malawi, and Tanzania, and in South America in Argentina and nearby countries. It is grown in Turkey and Iran (the humid, mild, coastal areas) as well. Georgia (the country) also grows tea in its mildest, coastal areas.
Tea likes humidity; it can handle some cold, such as a light frost, but can also be grown in purely tropical areas. It doesn't have much in the way of soil requirements--it can even grow in areas with very poor soil, even on barren rocks and cliffs.
Only small amounts are grown in the US.

What did the stamp act force the colonists to pay taxes on?
They were forced to pay tax on tea. Since they didn't grow their own and were avid fans of tea, they had to have it imported. The British Government needed money and as all government do, they taxed what was seen as highly valued. This tax caused what is known as the Boston Tea Party as the colonists threw all the tea into the Harbor. The tea was ruined and the Government couldn't get the taxes they wanted and probably needed since it did cost money to send people to the colonies.Most colonists turned to coffee which was and still is locally grown.
