Through this paper we aimed to provide insights into multifaceted significance of Chinese tea, from its ancient medicinal origins and historical evolution to its current role in global trade and economic development in 21st century with its significance on country economy. Furthermore, it highlights China's dominance in tea production and export, the classification of tea types by regional and ecological factors. We also bring insights how the Belt and Road Initiative has expanded international cooperation and tea market. The review also underscores tea’s health benefits, its impact on rural livelihoods, and the importance of conserving wild tea resources, with strategic breeding approaches to support sustainable development.
