Abstract
[extract] Fujian is a tea-producing province in southeastern China. The tea is mainly oolong, a semi-fermented tea. Fujian Province has traded chiefly Tieguanyin tea from Anxi County in the southern part of the province and Wuyi Cliff tea (erroneously named ‘Bohea’ tea by English merchants in the early nineteenth century) from the Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian.
