About Guangxi, China

Guangxi (广西) is an autonomous region (like a province but with a different organizational structure) in south China, bordering Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangdong, as well as Vietnam.

Guangxi is the region of china with the largest population of the Zhuang people, the largest ethnic minority in China. These people, however, still consist of only about a third of the people in Guangxi.

Guangxi is not as well-known in the tea world as the surrounding provinces of Yunnan, Hunan, and Guangdong, but it does produce tea, including white, green, and black teas. Osmanthus-scented teas are also produced here; the sweet osmanthus flowers used to scent these teas are native to this and surrounding regions.

Guangxi Liubao is a type of dark tea or Hei cha, a post-fermented tea somewhat like Pu-erh, that is similar in some respects to black tea but not fully oxidized.

The climate in Guangxi is humid and subtropical, with a seasonal pattern of precipitation, with about six times as much rainfall in the wettest months relative to the driest months. The region is very mountainous.

Nanning in Guangxi is also home to the Tea & Tea Culture Expo, a relatively new expo, having its first show in 2011.[1]
