India, China and Japan are the largest markets for quality whole leaf tea. Tea bags contain fannings and dust, the lowest quality byproducts of tea production. Try a single estate TGFOP and you’ll never want to drink tea from a bag again.

Chinese tea is again a whole different world from Indian tea, and has a much broader spectrum of complexity. You could spend a lifetime learning about Chinese tea.

I've heard the exact opposite about India, which is that they export all their best quality tea.

But you're evidently talking about green tea, and maybe not black tea. That might explain the contradiction.
