中国是茶的故乡,茶文化的摇篮。尽管中国茶叶的采集、栽培和生产的历史始于何时,各种文献记载并不一致,但以茶叶为饮料的习惯始于中国,中国茶的历史和茶文化的历史最悠久,产地最多,品种最繁,产量最大,栽培技术和加工工艺最精,则是举世公认的。而且,在中西接触的早期历史中,茶、丝和瓷器等都曾是早期全球化时代最受西方青睐且最具标识意义的中国商品,而茶叶更长期占据中国出口商品的首位,中国茶文化亦因此而被视作东方精神文化的象征和中西文化交流的媒介。
作为中国主要的产茶区之一,福建茶叶和茶文化的历史虽不算最早,但至迟到宋元时期就已成为中国享有盛誉的茶乡。2010年上海文化出版社出版的《中国古代茶书集成》,收入中唐至清末茶书114种,其中宋元茶书24种,竟有16种出自福建人之手。仅此一点,即足以佐证彼时福建茶叶和茶文化之盛。到明清时期,福建茶叶产区已几乎遍布全省各地,故有“闽诸郡皆产茶”之说,其中尤以武夷茶最富盛名。

China is the hometown of tea and the cradle of tea culture. Although the history of the collection, cultivation and production of Chinese tea began when various documents were inconsistent, the habit of using tea as a beverage began in China. The history of Chinese tea and the history of tea culture are the oldest, with the most producing areas. The most complex, the largest yield, the most sophisticated cultivation techniques and processing techniques, is universally recognized. Moreover, in the early history of Sino-Western contact, tea, silk and porcelain were the most popular and most iconic Chinese commodities in the early era of globalization, while tea occupied the first place in Chinese exports for a long time. Chinese tea culture It is therefore regarded as a symbol of oriental spiritual culture and a medium for cultural exchange between China and the West.
As one of the major tea-producing areas in China, the history of Fujian tea and tea culture is not the earliest, but it has become China's prestigious tea town by the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In 2010, Shanghai Ancient Culture Publishing House published "Ancient Chinese Tea Book Integration", which included 114 kinds of tea books from the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, 24 kinds of Song and Yuan tea books, 16 of which were from the hands of Fujian people. This alone is enough to prove the prosperity of Fujian tea and tea culture. By the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Fujian tea production area had been spread all over the province, so there was a saying that “the various counties all produce tea”, especially Wuyi tea is the most famous.
