陕西省西乡县茶叶种植历史至少可追朔至公元前二世纪,至今已有数千年历史 。在这漫长的历史长河中,西乡积淀了深厚而独特的汉茶文化,形成了独具特色的茶歌、茶舞、茶诗、茶影、茶艺等民间艺术 。截止目前,全县茶园总面积达22.9万亩,年产茶叶5500吨,产值6.5亿元,是西北地区最大的产茶县 。先后荣获全国名优茶生产基地县、中国著名茶乡和中国茶产业发展政府贡献奖等诸多殊荣 。以仙毫为代表的西乡绿茶更以色、香、味、形俱佳,纯天然、无污染闻名全国,成为中国八大名茶之一 。
近年来,西乡坚持以良好的生态环境和独特的茶叶资源为依托,以建设中国最美丽的茶乡为目标,先后投资5亿多元完善旅游设施、延伸产业链条,连年举办茶文化节暨樱桃旅游节,形成了集采茶、制茶、品茶、购茶、茶艺、茶食为一体的独具特色的茶园生态观光游品牌 。截止2011年上半年,全县共接待游客135.1万人,实现旅游综合收入3.9亿元,同比增长分别为37%和89%,旅游产业已成为西乡县经济中最具活力、发展最快的产业 。
