Updated: Mar. 8, 2012 About Egypt
Egypt, although it consumes tea, is not an important producer of tea, because its climate is too dry to grow the tea plant without heavy irrigation. Egypt has a very arid climate; most of its land area is taken up by the Sahara desert, which receives negligible rainfall. The only substantial agriculture in Egypt exists in a narrow corridor along the Nile river, and in the heavily agriculturally-developed Nile delta.
Egypt does however produce many herbs which are important in
herbal teas. Egyptian
chamomile, in particular, is considered to be among the most high-quality and desirable chamomile. Egypt is also a major source of
hibiscus for use in herbal teas.
