Tea is the most popular drink in the world, aside from water. The key types of tea include white, black, green, oolong, medicinal, and pu'erh. Tea is thought to have originated in China. Drinkers in the United States used tea for medicinal purposes. Tea made its way to the United Kingdom in the 17th century.

Tea is also required on a large production scale due to the world's large number of tea drinkers. Production in several tea-producing countries is also plagued by many difficulties. Low wages for tea workers, a lack of medical assistance for tea workers in rural areas, and a lack of safe and potable water on tea plantations are among the challenges that tea-producing countries face. Improved sanitation on tea plantations is also required. In addition,, women account for 55% of the workforce on tea plantations. These women are usually not eligible for education because they are not able to learn.
