China Production By Province: Yunnan

Yunnan Province has been a leading tea-producing province in China for several consecutive years. The humid subtropical climate gives it a longer growing season with mild summers and cool-warm winters. It is particularly known for dianhong black teas and pu’er dark teas.

 

Yunnan Province belongs among the higher-producing Western Belt of tea provinces in China.

Yunnan and Fujian have frequently competed for the title of top-producing provinces in China. Both provinces boast favorable climates that support higher yields per hectare compared to other well-known tea provinces.

Economic development projects in the rural areas of the Western Belt area have contributed to the speedy growth of tea production in Yunnan and the other Western Belt provinces.

As shown in the charts below, Yunnan has been a growing contributor to Western Belt production.
