　　   Wulian Green Tea is a specialty of Wulian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province. It is known for its "thick leaves, rich flavor, high aroma, and excellent infusability." Popular Wulian Green Tea brands include "Wulianshan," "Lulianchun," "Jiuxianlv," and "Qinshi."

　　   In 1966, the "introduction of southern tea to the north" initiative succeeded in Wulian County. Over the past forty-plus years, Wulian tea has continued to develop. Especially since 2009, the Wulian County government has made scientific decisions based on local conditions, establishing tea production as a pillar industry of the agricultural specialty economy and focusing on building the "Number One Northern Green Tea Base." The tea plantation area within the Wulian Green Tea region (Chahe Town, Hubu Township, Kouguan Town, Jietou Town, and Songbai Township) has reached 30,000 mu. Wulian County is located in the southeastern part of Shandong Province, bordering the Yellow Sea to the east, and enjoys a warm temperate humid monsoon climate with abundant sunlight and rainfall. The mountainous and hilly soils in the area are slightly acidic, classified as yellow-brown soil, rich in organic matter and trace elements. The superior coastal climate and excellent environment have nurtured the unique qualities of Wulian Green Tea—thick leaves, rich flavor, high aroma, and excellent infusability—earning it the reputation of being the "Number One Green Tea in Northern China." To date, twelve tea products, including the "Wulianshan" brand produced by Wulian County Mingbo Tea Farm, the "Lulianchun" brand by Wulian County Ruichun Tea Factory, the "Jiuxianlv" brand by Wulian County Haoyu Tea Industry, and the "Qinshi" brand by Chahe Town Fengyu Tea Factory, have won provincial, ministerial, national brand, and national gold award honors a total of 18 times. Wulian County is recognized as the "Northern Demonstration Zone of the Chinese Academy of Tea Science" in Shandong Province, and thousands of mu of its tea gardens have obtained EU organic food certification. Wulian Green Tea is popular throughout the province as well as in major cities nationwide such as Beijing and the northeast, and is also exported to international markets including Japan, South Korea, and Russia, showing broad prospects for development.
