Different kinds of tea have different requirements for soil. For example, green tea likes acidic soil, and black tea likes neutral or slightly alkaline soil.

The altitude of tea growth is generally between 500m- 1500m, and different kinds of tea have different requirements for altitude. Generally speaking, low temperature, high humidity and more clouds in alpine tea areas are beneficial to the growth and quality of tea.
