There are a total of five types of tea produced in the country, including green tea (unfermented), black tea (fully fermented), Oolong tea (partially fermented), instant tea (water soluble), and white tea.

A new tea auction centre began operations in Bangladesh’s northwest bordering district of Panchagarh yesterday, making it the third establishment of its kind following the country’s first in Chattogram and the second in Sreemangal.
