There are currently tea plantations covering some 52,000 mu (3,466.67 hectares) in Huizhou district, 80 percent of which are located in the high mountains at an altitude of about 600 meters. The clouds are believed to form a natural layer of shielding, blocking the sunlight and allowing the tea leaves to produce more nitrogen content and their distinctive aroma.
In recent years, Huizhou district has given top priority to improving the quantity and quality of its local tea. The total output from the area under cultivation there is projected to top 2,500 metric tons this year, worth 1.5 billion yuan.
