A lot of tea comes from Africa too. Kenya is one of the world's biggest tea producers (number 3, after China and India), and African tea is a major component in most commercial blends.

Closer to home, Turkey is also a fairly sizable producer, although because Turkey is also the world's largest tea consumer most of their tea is consumed domestically rather than exported.

Japan actually isn't a very big tea producer, by volume. Other producers which beat Japan on volume are Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Even Argentina produces more tea than Japan.
