From 1937-45 war ravaged the area and resulted in the severe debilitation of the
tea industry as many of the plantations were seriously damaged. During the
1950's, however, there was a systematic rehabilitation effort, which brought
life back to the area. With new methods of tea cultivations and processing, the
region has once again resumed its ranking as China's leading tea producer.
