　　Since 2000, the Experimental Station of the Guangxi Subtropical Crops Research Institute stationed in Longzhou County has introduced 16 high-quality tea cultivars such as Tieguanyin, Huangzhixiu, Jinxuan, and Cuiyu from Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan. By employing tea grafting technology, they successfully converted Yunnan large-leaf tea varieties into Oolong tea cultivars, enabling the production of Oolong tea in the same year as the grafting. This has established Longzhou as a production base for Oolong tea in Guangxi.
