Spring tea from Mingshan County reaches record prices

A period of frost in February has both decreased the quantity; but also increased the quality of the tea leaves harvested this spring in Mingshan County (名山县), Sichuan province (四川省). This has led to new record prices, best quality tea being negotiated on local markets at 80 Yuan or higher the kilogram.

Situated near the city of Ya’an (雅安), Mingshan County comprises Mengding Mountain (蒙顶山). Tea from Mengding Mountain is famous and the mountain itself is an important place in China’s tea history and culture.
