However, it was used as a food by people from the late Spring and Autumn Period, developed into medicine in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and developed into a high-grade palace drink in the late Western Han Dynasty, and popularized the folk as a common drink after the Western Jin Dynasty. It has a history of more than 6,000 years that the earliest remains of artificially planted tea were found in the Tianluoshan site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province.

The natural conditions of tea planting include landform, climate and soil type. The terrain is mainly hilly and the drainage conditions are good. Abundant precipitation, small annual temperature difference, large temperature difference between day and night, long frost-free period and good lighting conditions are suitable for the growth of various types of tea trees, especially for the growth of large-leaf tea trees.

At the end of winter, there is more sunshine at the beginning of Zhixia, and it is foggy in summer and autumn (Yunnan tea area). Less sunshine is beneficial to the overwintering and nutrient accumulation of tea trees and the quality of tea in summer and autumn. Latosol, latosolic red soil, mountain red soil or mountain yellow soil, brown forest soil, these soils have deep development and good structure, which are suitable for tea tree growth.
