Organic tea cultivation emerges as a pivotal strategy aligning with ecological sustainability and premium agricultural demands. This mini-review summarized the effects of organic cultivation on soil microecology, including raising the pH to the optimal range of 4.5-5.5, increasing soil nutrients, and optimizing enzyme activity and microbial community, thereby increasing the functional components of tea fresh leaves.However, persistent nitrogen limitation under long-term organic planting constrains amino acid synthesis and yield. Critical research frontiers need to focus on: 1) Organic mineral synergistic regulation technology based on the fertilizer demand paQern of tea plants; 2) Ecological network modeling of soil animal insect climate interaction; 3) Analysis of the quality formation mechanism driven by the "Rhizobiont" theory. This review provides a theoretical framework for optimizing carbon and nitrogen cycling in tea gardens and intelligent cultivation of organic tea.
