Yunnan Province, where Golden Yunnan tea is produced, is one of the birthplaces of tea and is home to some of the oldest tea trees in the world. The region's unique climate, with red, fertile soil and a misty, humid environment, makes it ideal for tea cultivation. Yunnan began producing black tea in the 1940s, initiated by the government to develop black tea production for export. The principal variety of tea bush grown in Yunnan is the Da Ye, a bush with large leaves used to make Pu Erh tea. However, Yunnan black tea, including the Golden Yunnan, has gained significant popularity and is now recognized as one of the best black teas in China.
