As a kind of agricultural mode in following the natural rules and ecosystem circulation, organic agriculture is the effective way to low carbon, environmental protection, food safety and sustainable development under the situation of global climates change and non-renewable resources depleting. The healthy development of organic tea, a typical representative of organic agriculture in China, has positive significance to the sustainable development of China's agriculture.On the basis of organic tea theory and international organic agriculture research, the author analyzed the main influence factors of the development of China's organic tea industry in material inquiry, institutions research, questionnaire investigation way with his work of organic tea certification. The strengths(S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), threats (T) of the development of China's organic tea industry were summarized after analysis, and the ideas and countermeasures were put forward. The main results were summarized as follows:1. Comparing with EU, the United States and other western countries, China's organic agriculture started late, and it is not perfect in production technology, standard system, industrial policy, market, etc. The certification and accreditation system of China has not been recognized by the Occident, which seriously restricts the export trade of China's organic products.2. Being the front runner of China organic agriculture, the organic tea industry grew rapidly. By 31 December 2010, there were 40,000 ha organic (including conversion) tea farm in China and 30,000 tons organic tea products, including exported 13,000 tons and domestic 17,000 tons. The amount of organic licensers was more than 650. All these were attributed to three aspects. Firstly, the industrial policy greatly stimulated laborer's production enthusiasm. Secondly, the technology and standard system research improved the level of the organic tea industry development. Finally, the professional certification body regulated the organic tea production rules and market management.3. The sustainable development of China's organic tea industry is influenced by some factors including regional unbalanced, immature market, astable policy, key technology, international recognition system, etc. In the situation of advocating low carbon, attaching great importance to food safety and expanding of market demand, China's organic tea industry is facing enormous challenges and opportunities. The author thinks that our organic tea industry should be based on absorbing foreign advanced experience of organic agriculture, give full play to all sorts of advantages, and adjust measures to local conditions of our country.4. According to the current situation of China's organic tea development, some suggestions were put forward such as setting reasonable and effective industrial policy, promoting scientific support in key technology research and demonstration promotion, enhancing basic data survey and overall plan, integrating various resources into organic tea strategic alliance, increasing the propaganda and improving people's awareness of organic tea, strengthening the organic tea market supervision and management, actively developing international cooperation.
