Tea of Harmony- Charming Guizhou

The ethereal Dong Grand Song, exquisite Miao embroidery and silverware, the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall, Xijiang Thousand Household Miao Village, and Chishui Danxia – Guizhou, this “mountain park province” embraced by rolling hills, conceals China’s most pristine natural wonders and vibrant ethnic cultures. It is an ecological paradise where “mountains remain visible, waters stay clear, and nostalgia lingers,” as well as a splendid treasury of intangible cultural heritage and ethnic traditions.

To “share tea with the world” naturally calls for friendship through tea. Does Guizhou boast fine teas? Absolutely. As the birthplace of tea, China holds the largest tea cultivation scale, most complete product varieties, and richest tea culture heritage globally. In China’s tea landscape, Guizhou forms an indispensable piece. This province marks the origin of world tea trees. In 1980, a 1.64-million-year-old ancient tea seed fossil was discovered in Yunshan Mountain, Guizhou – the oldest tea relic ever found worldwide. Guizhou stands as the core production area for premium global green teas, being China’s only high-altitude, low-latitude, mist-enveloped, pollution-free plateau tea region. Serving as a global tea gene bank, it preserves 4,000 tea germplasm resources. Local varieties like Maojian green tea and black tea enjoy international acclaim.
