Báimǎ

Baima belongs to the hill country of Longhui, where wild tea grows around Baima and Jiulong mountains. A Ming gazetteer of Xinhua records tea gardens established in the Yongle reign, including one at Luojiaping in the district then called Yongning. The official who encouraged their planting intended the tea to meet tribute obligations. In the Qing, another official tea garden was laid out at Fengping, continuing the cultivation of a crop for which the surrounding hills were well suited.
