　　Rongxian Longdu Xiangming is a variety of jasmine tea produced in Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province. Rong County, historically known as Rongzhou, neighbors Zigong — the hometown of dinosaurs — hence this region is also referred to as the “Dragon Capital.” Tea production in Rong County dates back to ancient times. The “Rongxian Annals” state: “Tea has existed since antiquity, but was not widely consumed before the Jin Dynasty, flourishing only in Shu. By the Tang Dynasty, it had become a nationwide trend.” To this day, wild large-leaf tea trees can still be found on Maofeng Mountain in Jinhua Township in the western part of the county. 8W3
