This study mainly reviewed the performance of tea trees in the face of high temperatures, compared the field performance of different tea tree varieties under high temperatures, analyzed the genetic reasons behind them, and also examined how planting methods such as shading and increasing watering frequency help tea trees maintain leaf activity, increase yield and quality in summer. It emphasized that to ensure tea trees grow well even in hot weather, choosing the right variety is as important as doing a good job in field management. It also summarizes some tea garden management methods suitable for high-temperature summer weather, as well as several key criteria for judging whether a tea tree variety is heat-tolerant. This study aims to provide some theoretical basis and technical references for the breeding of more heat-tolerant tea tree varieties and the establishment of an efficient planting system suitable for summer.
