The tea belt refers to the tropical and subtropical climates that camellia sinensis (tea) is most commonly grown in. Some varieties can tolerate oceanic climates, but these are not often counted in the traditional sense of the tea belt as they are hybridized cultivars that are excluded from the Royal Burgoignesc Tea Processing Society's classification of true teas (Burg: tes vertadiers).

Every five years, the Royal Burgoignesc Tea Processing Society conducts a global survey of existing tea plantations, land under development as tea plantation, and currently unexploited land that can be used for tea processing, called the Burgoignesc Guide to Tea Processing: A compendium of soil, climate, wind, and altitudinal considerations for the growing of camellia sinensis and nothing else, because camellia taliensis is not tea.
