Preventive Measures for the Tea Plant’s Late Spring Cold
During the spring warming period, cold air often invades, causing a significant drop in temperature. This weather, characterized by warmth before and cold after, is known as late spring cold. Late spring cold generally refers to prolonged periods of low temperatures and overcast rainy weather after the Vernal Equinox, specifically when the temperatures in late March or early April are lower than average. Depending on the timing, it can be further divided into "Vernal Equinox Cold" and "Qingming Cold." "Vernal Equinox Cold" occurs when the daily average temperature remains below 10°C for five days or more, with less than three hours of sunshine, from March 15 to March 27. "Qingming Cold" refers to low-temperature and rainy weather from March 28 to April 10. The Harm of Late Spring Cold to Tea Plants: In addition to variety, soil, fertilization, management, and processing skills, the production of high-quality tea also depends on climatic conditions. The relationship between tea production and temperature, sunlight, and rainfall is close. When the daily average temperature remains above 10°C for three consecutive days, tea buds begin to sprout and unfurl; once the temperature stabilizes above 10°C, the growth of buds and leaves accelerates, and new shoots emerge.…- 0

Wuyi Rock Tea’s Masterful Traditional Charcoal Baking Technique
Mr. Liang Zhangju once praised the baking technique of rock tea: “The Wuyi baking method is truly the best in the world.” Here, the baking method refers to traditional charcoal baking. To this day, mid-to-high-end Wuyi rock teas are still largely processed using traditional ancient charcoal baking techniques. Among the baking techniques used for major tea varieties, there is indeed no other tea that surpasses the Wuyi rock tea from Fujian's Wuyi Mountains. The charcoal baking and processing technique for Dahongpao, a type of Wuyi rock tea, is unique to it and has been listed as one of China’s first batch of national intangible cultural heritages. The "Complement to Ben Cao Gang Mu" (Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica) comments on Wuyi rock tea: “All teas are cold in nature; those with weak stomachs often experience stagnation after drinking them. Only Wuyi tea is warm and does not harm the stomach. It is suitable for those who have stopped drinking tea due to addiction.” Charcoal baking, as its name suggests, involves continuously baking tea using the residual heat of high-quality charcoal.

Identification and Control of Tea Grey Blight
Tea grey blight is one of the most serious diseases affecting tea leaves, also known as tea shoot blight, primarily caused by the plant pathogenic fungus Pestalotiopsis sp.. This disease mainly affects mature and old leaves but can also infect young shoots, causing leaf withering, shedding, and even death of the entire plant, significantly impacting tea yield and quality. In recent years, there have been reports in China identifying a diversity of pathogens causing this disease, with multiple species within the genus Pestalotiopsis showing significant biological differences, making control challenging. Currently, chemical fungicides such as carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, copper compounds, and others are primarily used for control, while biofungicides like pseudomonads, bacilli, and antibiotics (such as Wuyi mycin, camellia saponin, kasugamycin, and nisin) and extracts from approximately 30 plants, including Datura, are increasingly being applied. This article discusses the distribution and damage of tea grey blight, the biological characteristics of its causative agents, and epidemiological patterns, and proposes integrated control measures to provide guidance for practical disease management. I. Distribution and Damage Tea grey blight is widely distributed in tea-growing regions, including India and Japan, and occurs in all tea-producing areas in China.

Crossover Innovation Brewing Tradition: Jinxing Beer Launches Tea-Beer Fusion Product
With consumers' increasingly diverse and personalized demands, crossover innovation has become a new favorite across industries. Following Luckin Coffee's collaboration with Maotai to launch the internet-sensation "Maotai Soy Aroma Latte," cross-industry combinations have become the latest trend. Recently, Jinxing Beer, a traditional brand with a 42-year history, launched the Jinxing Xinyang Maojian Chinese-style craft beer, quickly gaining widespread attention. In recent years, "tea and alcohol fusion" and "food and alcohol integration" have become hot topics, but most of these are pairings at the sales level rather than actual product fusions. As competition in the craft beer market intensifies, how to open up new avenues and brew a craft beer that embodies Chinese characteristics and Henan cultural elements became a key focus for Zhang Tieshan and the Jinxing R&D team. By chance, they turned their attention to Xinyang Maojian, one of China's top ten famous teas, and thus a completely new craft beer with deep tea-alcohol integration was born: the Jinxing Xinyang Maojian Chinese-style craft beer.

Green Precision Prevention and Control Technology Assembly and Application Effects for Tea Pest Management
The integrated approach to green precision prevention and control of major tea pests involves using core technologies such as narrow-band LED insect traps, yellow-red dual-color insect-attracting boards, and efficient sex pheromone lures to maintain target pest populations at a low level through long-term and efficient trapping. This is complemented by biological preventive measures, such as spraying inchworm virus preparations and releasing predatory mites, along with good agricultural practices to control pest populations. Finally, highly efficient, low water-soluble chemical pesticides are used as emergency measures in the event of large-scale pest outbreaks. In recent years, tea plant protection scientists have conducted extensive research on pest control techniques, developing effective green precision prevention and control technologies for tea pests. Below, we will use three of the most important pests in Chinese tea gardens—the gray inchworm, the tea inchworm, and the tea tiny green leafhopper—as examples.

Issues in Guizhou Green Tea Processing and Key Technical Points for Solutions
The low temperature and high humidity environment of the spring tea season in Guizhou, along with the performance differences in processing equipment, affect the quality of spring tea processing. To improve the quality of spring tea products and highlight the regional characteristics of Guizhou green tea, mastering key techniques such as withering, fixation, shaping, and drying is essential. The following provides an explanation based on the critical common technologies in green tea processing: Program-controlled withered leaves in the withering room I. Withering Withering is the first process in green tea processing. Good withering can improve the efficiency of fixation and better address issues with bitterness and astringency in the tea liquor. 1. Issues (1) Thicker layers of withering leaves often require turning to ensure uniform withering, which can cause mechanical damage to the leaves. (2) Withering equipment lacks auxiliary heating devices, making it difficult to control the progress of withering. (3) During withering, the digital display temperature of the auxiliary heating device is used as a reference, while ignoring the temperature of the withering leaves. (4) The degree of withering is typically judged by the softness of the leaves and their color, neglecting the presence of stems. Program-controlled unit for…- 0
