摘要
茶叶原产于中国,因其富含人体所需的数十种矿物质以及丰富的维生素,具有散郁气、驱睡气、养生气、除病气等诸多功效,加之物美价廉,因而深得人们喜爱。在过去的1500年间,茶叶作为传播中华文明的重要载体之一不断从中国向世界各地进行地理扩散。目前,世界上茶叶生产国已有50多个,由于受茶叶生境条件的制约,茶叶生产主要集中于南北纬30度之间的热带和亚热带地区,形成了东亚、南亚、东非和东南亚四大茶叶产区。本文从世界茶叶的起源和地理扩散入手,分析了世界茶叶生产的起源、扩散与地理分布格局,并在此基础上,对世界茶叶的生产趋势进行了预测。
Tea originated in China. Containing different kinds of vitamins and mineral elements as potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and etc, and having functions of reducing tiredness, removing diseases, and etc, having high quality but low prices, it is deeply adored by people all of the world. In the past 1500 years, as an important carrier of the dissemination of Chi-nese civilization, tea has been geographically diffused from China to other parts of the world. Now more than 50 countries produce tea in the world. It is produced mainly in tropical and sub-tropical areas between the north and south of thirty latitude, forming the four major producing areas of tea of East Asi-a, South Asia, East Africa and Southeast Asia, among which, East Asia is the largest producing area, and Southeast Asia the smallest. In the forseeable fu ture, this map of tea production will not have big change.
