Which regions in China produce tea?

1. The main producing area of ??Chinese famous tea. China is the motherland of tea. The tea producing areas are distributed in a vast area from Sanya on Hainan Island at 18° north latitude to Wuyue Village in Lingshou County in the Taihang Mountains at 38°. The tea areas are ever-changing. The author found that my country Most famous and high-quality teas are produced around 30° north latitude.

There is no doubt that famous tea is a representative of excellent tea quality. The production of traditional famous tea requires a good natural environment, profound cultural heritage, and exquisite processing technology.

Some "famous teas" that have been evaluated at one or two meetings or festivals are often short-lived and cannot withstand the test of history.

We analyzed the recognized traditional top ten famous tea producing areas and found an interesting phenomenon: Longjing is produced in the Shifeng Mountain, Meijiawu, Wengjiashan, Yunqi, Hutiao and Lingyin areas of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, located at 30°15 north latitude

'; Dongting Biluochun is produced on Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Jiangsu, at about 31° north latitude; Junshan Silver Needle is produced on Junshan Island in Dongting Lake, Yueyang, Hunan, at 29°15' north latitude; Mengshan Yinzhen is produced on Mengding Mountain in Mingshan County, Sichuan

Dingganlu is located at 29°58′ north latitude; Huangshan Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province is exactly at 30°08′ north latitude; Lu’an Guapian is produced in the adjacent mountainous areas of Lu’an, Jinzhai and Huoshan counties in Anhui Province, and is divided into

There are two production areas of Waishan Guapian, Neishan Guapian, and the "Qishan Famous Card" produced in Qitou Mountain is the best of Lu'an Guapian.

There are Xinyang Maojian (produced at 32°13′ north latitude) and Anxi Tieguanyin (located at 25°07′ north latitude).

Judging from the above ten famous tea producing areas, six famous teas are West Lake Longjing, Junshan Yinzhen, Huangshan Maofeng, Mengding Ganlu, Lushan Yunwu and Qiyang Black Tea, located within 30°±1° north latitude.

Between °±1° and 2° there are Dongting Biluochun and Lu'an Guapian, and adjacent to this latitude is Xinyang Maojian (32°13′ north latitude).

Only the origin of the famous oolong tea Anxi Tieguanyin is not in this area.

From the area near 30 degrees north latitude.

2. It runs through China’s two major high-quality tea-producing areas.
