贵州省是野生茶叶发现得最早的地方。目前世界上发现最早的茶籽化石。是1980年7月在晴隆笋家箐发现的一块有三粒茶籽的化石。 贵州每年上贡茶的数量名列第二。贵定的云雾茶、湄潭眉尖等均为有史可查的贡品。历史上有云贵出好茶之说。陆羽《茶经》曾载：茶之出黔中，生思州、播州、费州、夷州........其味极佳。五十年代，在继承传统名茶的基础上，贵州省茶业人士又创制了羊艾毛峰、花贡红碎五号等十多种优质品种。 1964年，贵州省民政厅拨专款在都匀市办起了一个占地2000多亩的茶场，名茶都匀毛尖开始渐成规模。1973年改制后的都匀毛尖首次在广交会上展销，被外商抢购一空。此后，畅销日本、东南亚各国及港澳台地区，被誉为茶中上品。1982年被认定为全国十大名茶之一。相继而来的罗甸上隆春芽、羊艾毛峰、湄潭天然富硒茶分别荣获几个全国奖项。 贵州全省几乎县县产茶，产名茶：都匀毛尖、贵定云雾茶、羊艾毛峰、遵义毛峰、湄江翠片、花贡红碎茶五号、独山高寨茶、石阡坪山茶、金沙清池茶、贞丰坡柳茶、开阳南贡茶、大方海马宫茶、普安朵贝茶、织金平桥茶、纳雍姑箐茶、花溪赵司茶等，都是让人啧啧称道的好茶。 得天独厚的自然生态条件、优良的茶树品种资源，具有地方特色的栽培、采制技术，是贵州名茶兴旺发达的三大要素。
贵州茶乡——贵定云雾山
云雾山位于黔南布依族苗族自治州贵定县南端，海拔1854米，地处苗岭北坡，这里山势巍峨挺拔，受地壳运动和河流的切割，谷岭相间，群山林立，气候温和，雨量充沛，终年云雾缭绕，为长江水系与珠江水系的分水岭。每年多云雾照时间达200天左右，“云雾山”因此得名。 在云雾山区所产的“云雾茶”，又名鸟玉茶，是贵州名茶，闻名遐迩，早在明清时代，即成为上乘贡品而名传于世，清乾隆五十五年立的贡茶碑，确立了云雾茶的地位，当年的石碑至今保存完好。由于云雾山独特的自然地理环境，这里所产的茶叶色泽嫩绿，香气浓郁，滋味纯厚，叶底明亮，沏后水色清澈。 云雾山区是苗族、布依族、水族等少数民族聚居地，各民族悠久的历史、灿烂的文化、多姿多彩的民族风情、各具特色的民族工艺和秀丽迷人的风光，吸引了越来越多的游客。 | |
