Hong Kong aims to become global tea hub
Hong Kong trade authorities are planning to make the Asian city a world center for tea. Talks are taking place with tea sellers and buyers to use the city to trade supplies. Hong Kong's advantages are developed port and logistics facilities, as well as proximity to mainland China - world's largest tea producer. The city plans to replicate the success of its wine industry, becoming world's third-biggest trading hub for wine a year after ending duties in 2008.
