Terroir & Climate
Georgia's tea belt lies in the humid, subtropical west of the country, between the Black Sea coast and the foothills of the Caucasus, mainly in Guria, Samegrelo, Imereti and Adjara. It is one of the world's more northerly commercial tea zones, so bushes generally rest through a cold winter and the plucking season tends to be shorter than in tropical origins.
