在北非和西非，中国绿茶已成为当地人日常生活的一部分。"他们喜欢牛羊肉，而茶能解腻。"王树波解释道。在加纳首都阿克拉，商店老板佩兴丝·多尔凯努表示："中国茶叶是我们店里的主打产品，销售已超过10年。"
In North and West Africa, Chinese green tea has become part of local daily life. "They enjoy beef and mutton, and tea helps digest greasy food," Wang explained. In Accra, Ghana, shop owner Patience Dordornu said: "Chinese tea is our flagship product, with over 10 years of sales history."
摩洛哥连续两年成为中国茶叶出口量第一的市场。2022年，"中国传统制茶技艺"被列入联合国非遗名录，进一步提升了中国茶的国际影响力。
