Mezijing Tea Mountain in Yongde County: Fresh Tea Steeps the Heart, Pure Breeze Fills the Hills
Stepping into the Mezijing Tea Mountain in Xiaomengtong Town, Yongde County, tender green tea leaves quietly unfurl at the tips of branches, gradually spreading out under gentle sunlight and bursting with vitality. Laughter and joy fill the tea groves as the tea farmers skillfully pick the leaves, painting a picturesque rural scene of industrious harvest. Visiting Mezijing Village once more, I am still captivated by the integrity culture embedded within. Vivid integrity-themed murals and richly meaningful integrity landscapes integrate visual integrity elements into the village construction. Walking through the scenery, integrity arises from the heart, and under the guidance of the tour guide, everyone embarks on an extraordinary journey of integrity culture. "Mezijing Village has adopted the concept of integrating 'integrity' and 'scenery,' creating integrity walls, Pure Breeze Pavilion, Pure Heart Tea Room, and other tea-integrity cultural tourism landscapes that combine sightseeing, leisure, and education. This not only allows party members and villagers to be subtly influenced by integrity education, making the folkways more simple and the social atmosphere more upright, but also creates a strong atmosphere of integrity for rural revitalization.

Motuo County, Tibet: Nurturing Tea Tourism—Transforming Tea Mountains into “Gold Mountains”
Situated in southeastern Tibet, Motuo County lies at the easternmost end of the Himalayas and within the heart of the world's largest canyon—the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. Benefitting from high-altitude mist and a pristine ecological environment, Motuo tea is in high demand. In the ethereal tea garden of Gelin Village, Bei Bang Township, tourists are experiencing the art of tea picking and processing. A lady from Chongqing remarked, "Even though it’s winter, many of the tea plants here have sprouted new buds, full of vitality. Here, one can not only enjoy the scenery but also experience the joy of picking tea leaves, while also taking in sights like Mount Namjagbarwa and the Yarlung Zangbo River—it has truly been a worthwhile trip." In recent years, Motuo County has actively developed its “three bases and one chain” highland subtropical specialty industry.

They have implemented a service model of "one list per industry, one consultant per enterprise," precisely delivering "policy finds you" and "policy delivered to your doorstep" services to ensure that tax and fee reduction benefits reach… -
The Tea Processing of Xinyang Maojian
The Aroma Achieved Through Baking The tea processing of Xinyang Maojian not only preserves the tenderness of the buds but also enhances their aroma to a certain extent, creating a fresh, smooth, and mellow taste for Maojian tea. The production process of Xinyang Maojian is very meticulous. Before stir-frying, the fresh leaves are sorted according to variety, weather at the time of picking (rainy or sunny), time of day (morning or afternoon), and freshness. They are then graded using bamboo sieves and kept separately. The sorted tea leaves are spread out on a tray; those picked on rainy days should be spread thinly, while those picked on sunny days can be spread more thickly. Once the leaves become soft and have lost some moisture, they are ready for stir-frying. The stir-frying directly determines the quality of Xinyang Maojian, as it is the process that enhances its aroma and also makes the tea suitable for long-term storage. Its technique is also unique, consisting of three steps: raw pan, mature pan, and baking. Although this sounds simple, the actual process is particularly complex. Furthermore, the stir-frying and baking techniques of Xinyang Maojian combine elements from the production methods of Lu'an Guapian and… -
