(MENAFN) The Chinese southwestern province of Guizhou, which has the most tea plantations in the nation, exported 598.7 tons of tea in 2015, with a total value of USD36.4 million, reflecting double the export bulk in 2014.
Guizhou tea is exported to 11 countries and regions including the United States, Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam, plus nearly 58 percent of the shipped tea was black tea and Wulong tea, or Oolong tea.
Moreover, tea plantations reside in over 459,000 hectares in Guizhou, and overall production value was 224,000 tons in 2015, up 23.7pct y-o-y, let alone that export growth has been partly credited to investment by foreign firms.
On a different note, Guizhou was first organized as an imperially-controlled Chinese administrative region during the Tang dynasty, and was named Juzhou, and then the region formally became a province in 1413.
