The highest frequency of detection was bifenthrin (73.64%) with an average value of 0.346 mg/kg. It was oolong tea that had the highest average value; excessive contents of fenvalerate or fenpropathrin were only found in four tea samples; the phenomenon of multi-pesticides residue was existed. The pollution levels of bifenthrin, fenpropathrin and cypermethrin in eastern Guangdong (Chaozhou and Meizhou) were
