Q1Tea is an indigenous crop of ________.
Explanation
Tea is considered indigenous to China, where its cultivation and use as a beverage developed very early. India is now one of the world's major tea producers, especially in Assam, Darjeeling and the Nilgiris, but that production history does not make India the crop's original homeland. Britain popularised tea drinking through trade and empire, yet tea is not native to Britain. Sri Lanka also became famous for tea plantations under colonial-era commercial agriculture, but it was not the original centre of the crop.
