We have self-owned organic tea garden of 166 hectares which were reclaimed from secondary forest in 1998, there were no any planting history but clear and fertile land.

The terrain and climate of Yunnan are special, and the consistency of high latitude, low latitude, coupled with the special geographical location and complex terrain, its main performance characteristics are: ① Regional differences are distinct, and vertical changes are very obvious. ② The annual temperature difference is small and the daily temperature difference is large. ③ Abundant rainfall, clear dry and rainy seasons, less rainfall in the north and more in the south, uneven distribution. Under such conditions, plus some tea species and growth patterns are different, the camellia tea has significantly different qualities.
