The leaf in this picture is a very familiar sight in Taiwan.
These hands are holding a tea leaf that has just been picked. The brown stuff in his hands is tea made from leaves just like this one.
What makes these leaves special is not what they are, but where they were grow: England.
Drinking and brewing tea has always been thought of as a very English thing to do. In fact, people have been drinking tea for over 400 years! But this tea leaf is among the first ever grown in England to be sold to English people.
In the past, English people have bought most of their tea from India, East Asia and Africa.
