Where are tea crops grown in Hunan?

In Hunan, red and black tea crops are primarily cultivated on the foothills of the Xuefeng Mountains and on Mount Mufu, which is located along the province's eastern border. Additionally, tea seed shrubs are grown for their oils in the western and southern highlands of the province.1

While tea is a significant crop, it is important to note that northern Hunan experiences colder winter temperatures that can occasionally damage tea bushes, whereas the southern regions benefit from a longer frost-free season.2
