Guangxi is a dominant tea region in South China, with early tea market and good quality. However, the overall brand effect and economic benefits of the tea industry lag behind the well-known tea-producing provinces outside the region. It is urgent to improve the competitive advantage of the tea industry through scientific and technological innovation and promote the high-quality development of the tea industry in Guangxi. In this paper, four typical tea regions in Guangxi, namely Zhaoping, Lingyun, Cangwu and Guiping, are selected to analyze the technological development status of regional tea industry by referring to major tea-producing provinces, combining tea industry policies, and based on relevant typical literature and scientific and technological achievements, so as to provide theoretical thinking for the scientific and technological support of Guangxi tea industry. Tea industry is an important means to promote rural development and prosperity in Guangxi minority areas. Although the area of tea gardens and tea production in Guangxi are increasing year by year, and the economic value is constantly increasing, tea science and technology in Guangxi lags behind the major tea-producing provinces in terms of tea industry production management, brand building, industrial integration and talent cultivation. The deficiency of tea science and technology support in Guangxi was discussed from the aspects of tea planting scale, tea brand value, tea science and technology literature, tea science and technology awards, etc. The paper puts forward the transformation and development path of tea industry, which is to excavate regional high-quality tea germplasm resources, build high-quality standardization system of tea industry, strengthen the construction and management of well-known tea brands, coordinate the deep integration of “Three Tea”, optimize the mechanism of top-line tea talents, and promote the overall layout of tea science and technology. Scientific and technological innovation has a unique advantage in the development of tea industry, and the integration of science and technology in the whole industrial chain of production, university and research will help promote the transformation and high-quality development of Guangxi tea industry.
