Camellia taliensis, also known as Yunnan large leaf varietal tea, wild tea, Dali tea, and Yunnan broad tea, is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree that is used to produce tea. It belongs to the same genus as the cultivated tea plant, Camellia sinensis, and is an important wild relative of this plant. While it is cultivated on many farms in Yunnan province in China, its wild populations are shrinking due to human-caused fragmentation of its natural habitat and overpicking of its leaves for the tea market. C. taliensis has larger leaves than C. sinensis and contains both theanine and caffeine. It can also be easily crossed with C. sinensis, producing hybrid plants. This species is used to make various types of tea, including white tea, black tea, and pu'er tea, with the latter commanding a higher price due to its rarity.
