A question many friends have asked: Where is the Hehuanshan tea region? Some people online say it’s Cifeng, while others claim it’s in Jingguan Tribe and Lushan Tribe. Which one is actually the real Hehuanshan tea region?
An Expansive Hehuanshan Tea Region
The Hehuanshan mountain range is vast, spanning from Maleba to DongYanShan, and from Jingguan Tribe to Lushan and Wushe, all of which are considered part of the Hehuan peaks. Because the Hehuanshan tea region covers such a large area, people in the tea industry mostly use smaller local names to distinguish the different areas—just like the aforementioned Cifeng, Jingguan Tribe, and Lushan Tribe. Otherwise, even though both belong to Hehuanshan, Jingguan Tribe and Maleba are quite far apart.
So, Which Areas Belong to the Hehuanshan Tea Region?
Maleba, Lixing Industrial Road, Cifeng Tribe, near Cingjing Farm, Songgang Meifeng, Cifeng, Wushe Gaofeng, DongYanShan, Datong Mountain, Meixi River, Jingguan Tribe, Qilai Mountain Duda Tribe, Tunyuan, Lushan Tribe, and Lushan Hot Spring can all be referred to as the Hehuanshan tea region.
Currently, the area most commonly referred to as the “Hehuanshan tea region” within the tea industry is the section from Meifeng above Cingjing Farm to the lower slopes of Cifeng. Because it is the producing area closest to Wuling on Hehuanshan, the next time you visit Wuling, after passing the Cifeng Police Station, you will see many tea factories on the right side using “Hehuanshan” as their origin name.
