　　　　Thanks to its excellent natural and resource environment as well as unique geographical conditions, Jufeng has become one of the most suitable places for tea cultivation. This has also given Jufeng Green Tea its distinctive flavor and superior quality—characterized by thick leaves, strong taste, high aroma, and excellent infusability—which has made it highly popular in both domestic and international markets, with over 90% of its output being exported. The town now has 52,000 mu of tea plantations, earning it the title of "The Northernmost First Town of Green Tea" and making it the main production area of Rizhao Green Tea.
