The Jiuban Family Farm in Shengzhou City has over 60 mu of Tea gardens, with varieties including Wuniuzao, Longjing 43, Golden Bud, and Yuehuang No.1, mainly producing Black Tea. In 2021, they produced more than 2,000 catties of black tea, selling at an average price of 200 RMB per catty. Their products are well-received, which is mainly attributed to the following two aspects:
Firstly, ecological planting.
No chemical pesticides are used in the tea garden; instead, lime-sulfur mixture is applied in winter to seal the garden, and no chemical fertilizers are used, only pig manure that has been fermented is applied.
Newly developed tea gardens do not use herbicides for weed control, allowing grasses and tea plants to coexist harmoniously.
Pig manure is fermented in bags for 5-6 months before being applied to the Soil.
Secondly, a craftsman's approach to production. They have sought out masters of black tea production to improve themselves while continuously experimenting and exploring, summarizing a complete set of black Tea processing techniques. They follow these established processes with dedication when making their tea. Good raw materials combined with meticulous production naturally result in high-quality products.
