The region is full of wild mountains and lushly forested hilltops that look out over emerald tea gardens and intricately terraced slopes and valleys.

Tea has been growing in Ningde for centuries and longstanding green and white tea-making traditions continue to this day.The flavor of Ningde teas can vary drastically depending on their proximity to the coast or inland mountains.
