What kinds of wild tea are there?

At present, wild tea on the market is divided into two types: natural wild tea and cultivated wild tea.

Natural wild tea refers to tea that is naturally born and grows among mountains and forests, scattered here and there, with inconsistent traits, and is the most rare.

Cultivated wild tea refers to artificially cultivated tea trees that, because they were left unmanaged, had their tea gardens abandoned, and after decades of natural growth, are tea trees that have been repeatedly developed and utilized; because there are relatively few tea gardens of this type, the output of cultivated wild tea is also not large.
