RateTea Adds Maps Of Tea Producing Counties In Fujian Province, China, And Other Provinces

March 27, 2012 - PRLog -- RateTea, an interactive website where anyone can rate and review teas, has a database of teas classified by brand, style, and region.  This database, and the pages for each tea, are networked into a collection of articles on specific tea producing regions, which include numerous provinces of China, and a number of Chinese counties and other county-level divisions.

New county-level maps:

There are numerous English-language-labelled maps of Chinese provinces available online, including free maps available through Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons.  However, maps of county-level divisions, labelled in English, are hard to come by.  With the exception of a few well-known tea producing counties, such as Anxi county, there were no maps of county-level divisions available on English-language websites.

To fill this void, and to provide more information on the origin of teas, RateTea used multiple sources to draw its own maps of county-level divisions in.  The maps are custom-drawn and labelled in such a way to illustrate the position of each county in each Chinese province, as well as its location in the prefecture-level city (a geographic division in between the level of provinces and counties, with each prefecture containing several counties).
