Where is the origin of tea? Where is the origin of China tea?

1, Southwest Tea Area: Southwest Tea Area is located in the southwest of China, including Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces and southeast Tibet. It is the oldest tea-growing area in China. Tea tree is rich in variety resources, producing black tea, green tea, Tuocha, pressed tea, Pu 'er tea and so on. It is one of the main bases for the development of big-leaf black broken tea in China. Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is the origin center of tea trees. The terrain is complex, and some areas at the same latitude have great differences in altitude and climate. Most areas belong to subtropical monsoon climate, which is neither cold in winter nor hot in summer. Soil conditions are also suitable for the growth of tea trees. Sichuan, Guizhou and southeastern Tibet are mainly yellow soil with a small amount of brown soil. Yunnan is mainly lateritic red soil and mountain red soil. Soil organic matter content is generally richer than other tea areas.

2. South China Tea Area: South China Tea Area is located in the south of China, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan Province, Hainan and other provinces (regions), which is the most suitable area for tea tree growth in China. There are trees, small trees, shrubs and other types of tea trees, and tea resources are extremely rich. Black tea, oolong tea, scented tea, white tea and Liubao tea are produced, and the tea soup produced by Dayehong is of high concentration. Except for a few areas such as northern Fujian, northern Guangdong and northwestern Guangxi, the annual average temperature is 19℃-22℃, the monthly average minimum temperature is 7℃- 14℃, and the annual growth period of tea is 10 months. The annual precipitation is the highest in China's tea areas, generally1200mm. The soil in tea-growing areas is mainly latosol, and some areas also have red soil and yellow soil, with deep soil layer and rich organic matter content.

3. Jiangnan Tea Area: Jiangnan Tea Area is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, including Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi, southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu and southern Hubei. It is the main tea producing area in China, and its annual output accounts for about 2/3 of the total national output. Tea produced mainly includes green tea, black tea, black tea, scented tea and famous teas with different qualities, such as West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Mao Feng, Dongting Biluochun, Junshan Yinzhen and Lushan Wu Yun. Tea gardens are mainly distributed in hilly areas, and a few are in mountainous areas with higher altitude. The climate in these areas has four distinct seasons, with the annual average temperature 15℃- 18℃, and the winter temperature is generally -8℃. The annual precipitation is 1400 mm-1600 mm, with the most rainfall in spring and summer, accounting for 60%-80% of the annual precipitation, and drought in autumn. The soil in tea-growing areas is mainly red soil, some of which are yellow soil or brown soil, and a few are alluvial soil.

4. Jiangbei Tea Area: Jiangbei Tea Area is located on the north bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong and other provinces and northern Anhui, Jiangsu and Hubei. Jiangbei tea area mainly produces green tea. The annual average temperature in tea-growing areas is 15℃- 16℃, and the absolute minimum temperature in winter is generally around-10℃. The annual precipitation is less, ranging from 700mm- 1000mm, which is unevenly distributed and often causes drought to tea trees. The soil in tea-producing areas mostly belongs to yellow brown soil or brown soil, which is a transitional type of soil in the north and south of China. However, the microclimate in a few mountainous areas is good, so the quality of tea is no less than that in other tea areas, such as Luan Guapian and Xinyang Maojian tea.
