Exploring the regional competitive advantages of China's tea industry has important practical significance for optimizing the differentiated development of China's tea industry and promoting high-quality development of the tea industry. Based on the statistical data of China's tea industry from 1991 to 2020, the market share, resource endowment coefficient, and comparative advantage index were used to quantitatively measure the competitiveness of the tea industry in various tea producing provinces in China, the development trend of China's tea industry competitiveness was explored, and countermeasures and suggestions were proposed. The results indicate that: (1) China's tea production is gradually gathering in the southwest and central and eastern regions, especially in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, and Fujian. (2) China's tea industry has strong competitiveness, with a certain market size, resource endowment advantages, and comprehensive comparative advantages. (3) China's tea production has a comparative advantage in scale, showing an overall upward trend, forming a scale advantage production area mainly composed of the central and eastern regions of Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei, and southwestern regions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, etc. (4) The comparative advantage of tea production efficiency in China is not significant, and the overall situation is stable, forming an efficiency advantage production area mainly composed of Guangdong, Fujian and other southeast coastal areas. (5) China's tea production has a comprehensive comparative advantage, showing an overall upward trend, and the advantageous regions are relatively stable. The scale comparative advantage has accelerated the continuous enhancement of the "polarization effect" of the comprehensive comparative advantage. To enhance the competitiveness of China's tea industry, it is necessary to combine the advantages and characteristics of tea production regions, scientifically plan the layout of the tea industry, achieve reasonable resource allocation, and promote the improvement, efficiency, transformation, and upgrading of the tea industry.
