中国茶区Chinese Tea Planting Area
中国产茶历史悠久，茶叶产地遍布全国。在悠久的茶叶发展历史中，我们智慧的劳动人民因地制宜发明出了各式各样的制作工艺，茶也因产地、茶树品种的不同逐渐形成了各类茶种。今天我们一般把茶分为六大类，各类茶有它的产地范围，这里将有图有真相地为大家介绍六大类茶的势力范围。
Chinese tea has a long history and is produced all over the country. In the long history of tea production, wise and hardworking Chinese people have invented a variety of production techniques according to local conditions. Various types of teas have gradually come into existence due to different origins and varieties of tea trees. Nowadays, we generally divide the Chinese tea into six categories, each with its unique range of origin. Here is a brief introduction about the six categories of tea.
中国茶区平面分布在北纬18~37度、东经94~122度的广阔范围内，有19个省区的上千个县（市）产茶，地跨6个气候带，即中热带、边缘热带、南亚热带、中亚热带、北亚热带和暖日温带，各地在土壤、水热、植被等方面存在明显差异。在垂直分布上，茶树最高种植在海拔2600米的高地上，而最低仅据海平面几十米或者百米，同样构成了土壤、水热、地物等差异。地域的差异，对茶树的生长发育和茶叶生产影响极大。
茶叶的生产，除受上述诸因子制约外，还受栽培历史、劳力、社会经济、技术力量、交通运输、饮茶习俗、生活水平等影响。
在不同地区，生长着不同类型和不同品种的茶树，从而决定着茶叶的品质及其适制性和适应性，形成了一定的茶类结构。今天，我们一般把茶分为六大类，各类茶有它的产地范围，这里为大家介绍一下六大类茶的分布状况。
The Chinese tea area is distributed in a wide range of 18 to 37 degrees north latitude and 94 to 122 degrees east longitude, covering hundreds of counties (cities) in 19 provinces. It spans six climatic zones, namely the mid-tropical zone, the marginal tropics, the southern subtropical zone, the mid-subtropical zone, the northern subtropical zone and the warm temperate zone. There are significant differences in soil, water, heat and vegetation. In the vertical distribution, tea trees are planted at a height of up to 2,600 meters above sea level, and the lowest is only tens of meters or 100 meters above the sea level, which also constitutes differences in soil, water, heat, and ground objects. Geographical differences have a great impact on the growth of tea trees and the development of tea production.
In addition to the above factors, the production of tea is also affected by cultivation history, labor, social economy, techniques, transportation, tea drinking customs, and living standards.
In different regions, different types and varieties of tea trees are planted, which determines the quality of tea and the adaptability of tea production, forming the current tea categories. Now we generally divide Chinese tea into six categories. Each category has its own planting region. Here we will introduce the distribution of the six major categories of tea.
