All six styles of tea are cultivated here, adding to the importance of the area.
In 1990 Anhui was deemed a World Heritage site by UNESCO, affording the tea
plants a certain level of preservation and protection.
The geography in Anhui can be rather harsh and varied compared to other parts of
China. This is why much of the tea grown in this area is done so in the
southernmost region where the climate and soil are ideal for its cultivation.
