Abstract: In order to investigate the carbon footprint of Anji white tea in depth, the life cycle of Anji white tea was divided into five stagesraw material, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal, and the complete life cycle carbon footprint of Anji white tea was used as the research object to assess the carbon emission of each stage of the life cycle. The results showed that the total carbon footprint of 1 kg of Anji white tea was 7.03 kg, and its carbon footprint content was mainly in the raw material stage and use stage, which accounted for 35.15% and 45.66%, respectively.

Key words: Anji white tea, “two mountains” concept, life cycle, carbon footprint
