Rongcheng Green Tea

Rongcheng Green Tea is a product with a geographical indication for agricultural products.

　　  The cultivation area of Rongcheng Green Tea spans 30,000 mu, with an annual tea production of 500 tons. Rongcheng City is surrounded by sea on three sides, enjoying a warm winter and cool summer, and belongs to a warm temperate maritime humid climate zone. As early as the 1960s, it became one of the most successful counties and cities in Shandong Province in the "introduction of southern tea to the north." Due to being grown in a high-latitude region, compared to other tea-producing areas, Rongcheng Green Tea has the longest growth period, the shortest harvest period, and the highest nutrient accumulation. The unique climate and soil conditions formed by its special geographical location result in tea leaves that are thick, resistant to brewing, with bright tender green liquor, a fresh, mellow, and harmonious taste, a high aroma, and distinctive chestnut and cooked egg yolk fragrances.
