History of Rizhao Green Tea
Rizhao green tea originated in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China. According to historical records, tea trees were cultivated in Yanggu, Rizhao and other places in Shandong in the Han Dynasty. But it was not until the Tang Dynasty that Rizhao tea was called "Rizhao tea" and became one of the famous teas at that time. The Ming Dynasty is the heyday of Rizhao tea, and the climate and soil conditions are very suitable for the growth of tea trees. In addition, the quality and taste of Rizhao tea have reached a high level. In the Qing dynasty, Rizhao tea developed further and became one of the royal tributes, enjoying a high reputation at home and abroad. However, in modern times, due to historical reasons and development environment, the production and sales of Rizhao tea were restricted. It was not until 1960 that production resumed and became one of the important local agricultural products. Nowadays, Rizhao green tea has become one of the representatives of China tea culture, and its delicate and elegant taste and profound cultural heritage have attracted countless tea lovers to taste it. At this point, the history of Rizhao green tea has gone through thousands of years.
