However, Neilson and Pritchard ("op cit") suggest that at least 70% of South Indian tea is exported, and the Nilgiris constitutes more than half of all South Indian production.

The Song Dynasty (960–1279) that followed was the first government to issue paper currency. An important development was the mechanization of paper manufacture by medieval papermakers.

Roasted corn kernels are available at groceries, traditional markets and supermarkets in Korea, as well as at Korean groceries abroad. Tea bags containing ground corn are also commercially available. "Oksusu-cha" is often combined with "bori-cha" (barley tea), as the corn's sweetness offsets the slightly bitter flavor of the barley. Corn
