Tea Regions of China 茶区

Why Region Matters in Chinese Tea

Region is more than a label on a package. Climate, elevation, soil, local cultivars, protected origin rules, and inherited processing habits all shape what a tea can become. A Wuyi oolong, a Yunnan pu'er, a Hangzhou green tea, and a Fujian white tea are different because place and craft reinforce each other.

Use this region index to move from broad provinces into more specific mountains, counties, and villages. The closer a tea page gets to a named production area, the easier it is to judge whether the flavor, price, and brewing recommendations make sense.
