In 2020, the majority of Indonesian tea production originated from West Java.

The majority, or 69.15%, of Indonesia's tea comes from West Java. According to the Ministry of Agriculture's data, tea production in the province reached 96,300 tons in 2020, significantly exceeding that of Central Java (13,900 tons) and North Sumatra (7,700 tons).

This large production output is consistent with the extensive tea plantation area in West Java. Last year, the area of tea plantations in West Java reached 92,800 hectares, or 77.8% of the national total.

Peasant-owned plantations dominate, covering 45,200 hectares. Meanwhile, privately and state-owned tea plantations in West Java cover 20,700 hectares and 19,300 hectares, respectively.

By region, the majority of tea plantations in West Java are located in Cianjur, covering 22,900 hectares. Bandung Regency and Sukabumi Regency follow, with tea plantation areas of 18,970 hectares and 13,200 hectares, respectively.

West Java's high average tea productivity, reaching 1,519 kilograms per hectare, is not solely due to the large plantation area. The highest productivity was recorded in Tasikmalaya Regency at 1,918 kilograms per hectare, while the lowest was in Majalengka Regency at 343 kilograms per hectare.
