Tea Exports in 2021: $687 million

India is one of the largest economies in the world and also one of the largest consumers of tea. Naturally, this also lends it a strong tea industry, which exported $687 million of the beverage in 2021, equaling to 197,239 tons. Naturally, this vibrant industry also lends India exclusive teas of its own. Some of the most popular Indian tea brands are named after the regions that they are grown in, such as Assam and Darjeeling. In fact, tea growers in Assam have their own time zone, called Tea Garden Time, which is one hour ahead of Indian Standard Time! Some of the largest Indian tea companies are Tata Consumer Products Limited (NSE:TATACONSUM.NS) and Hindustan Unilever Limited (NSE:HINDUNILVR.NS).
