They drink tea as much as booze. Gensokyo features varied environments, including mountains (like the Youkai Mountain), forests, and the Human Village which engages in agriculture. Rather than one vast “tea estate,” Gensokyo’s tea comes from the entire realm itself, most locally grown
The Youkai Mountain, with its fertile volcanic soil and varied altitudes, provides suitable conditions for growing a large amount of high-quality tea, particularly unique high-altitude varieties enjoyed by the tengu and potentially traded elsewhere. The kappa, again, can grow their own variants inside watery territories, quality and quantity supported by their technological innovations. This likely caters to the tastes of youkai and those living on the mountain.
The Human Village cultivates common tea varieties, particularly those for Japanese green tea (which seems to be the most common type depicted), that can thrive in such environments. This would form the staple, everyday tea consumed by many residents. The availability of cheap tea supports this idea of readily available, locally produced common tea. There are families raking it in just by producing specific brews.
The Scarlet Devil Mansion, known for Western luxuries and having vast coffers, might "import" specific European tea blends (like Earl Grey or others suited for Western-style tea service) for their own consumption and parties.
The underground's environment seems less suited for standard tea plants compared to the surface conditions preferred by the Human Village or the specific high-altitude varieties grown by Youkai Mountain denizens. Its' culture, heavily influenced by the oni, emphasizes strong liquor. While not mutually exclusive, the primary beverage focus appears to be alcohol rather than tea.
The Spiriting Away phenomenon could occasionally bring in packets or tins of tea that have been forgotten in the Outside World, but this is minor.
Gensokyo isn't solely reliant on imports for its tea, although the option should be available somewhere. It must have robust domestic production; else Reimu wouldn't be chugging it without killing her wallet even more. Reimu drinks tea like water. She’s broke. Therefore, tea must be cheap. Cheapness implies local production, not expensive imports.
