　　Mian County is a famous ancient battlefield and also a well-known tea-growing region. The renowned “Dingjun” series of premium teas, represented by “Dingjun Mingmei,” carry their intoxicating fragrance beyond the Qinling Mountains and to the world. Especially since the 1980s, successive county party committees and governments in Mian County have prioritized the industrialization of tea as a key project in agricultural development. They have established pollution-free high-quality ecological tea plantations within the ancient battlefield area of Dingjun Mountain at an altitude of 800–1380 meters along the source of the Han River. The tea-growing region is perennially shrouded in mist, with a moist climate, diffuse light, short daylight hours, fertile and slightly acidic soil. Its unique climatic and soil conditions have contributed to the formation of distinctive tea qualities.

　　“Dingjun Mingmei” has won multiple awards for its “uniform and hairy appearance, slender and delicate like eyebrows, tender green color, long-lasting fresh aroma, mellow taste, bright yellow-green liquor, tender green and intact leaves.” It has been honored as the First Prize in the Western China Premium Tea Competition, the “Lu Yu Cup” Award, the Silver Award at the First China Agricultural Expo, the Gold Award for Shaanxi Premium Tea, and the High-Quality Product Award in Hanzhong City. In 1996, it was selected as the official tea for state banquets by the General Office of the Central Committee.
