Prevention and Remedial Measures for Drought Damage in Tea Gardens
To prevent drought damage in tea gardens and reduce losses in tea production, supplementary measures to replenish water and suppress evaporation can be taken before the onset of drought. These include irrigation to supplement water, loosening the soil and weeding, inter-row grass covering, etc., to maintain and regulate soil moisture and improve the microclimate around the tea plants, thereby enhancing the tea trees' drought resistance. Irrigation Replenishment Tea garden irrigation methods include furrow irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, among others, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Furrow irrigation is suitable for flat tea gardens and can quickly increase soil moisture levels, promptly rescuing drought-stressed tea trees, but it consumes a large amount of water, has a small impact on air humidity, and can lead to waste of water resources through surface runoff and deep seepage, as well as damaging some of the topsoil structure. Drip irrigation reduces evaporation and saves water, but it requires a higher initial investment and cannot effectively improve the microclimate of the tea garden. Therefore, in recent decades, sprinkler irrigation has been the primary method used for drought prevention and mitigation in tea gardens. Sprinkler Irrigation can not only increase soil moisture but also lower…- 0

Countermeasures for Low Temperature and Freezing Damage in Guizhou’s Spring Tea Gardens
Since February 22, most areas of our province, except some tea regions in Qiandongnan and Qiannan such as Qiannanwest, have suffered from a sudden drop in temperature and extreme weather conditions of low temperature and freezing. Preliminary investigations indicate that tea trees in various tea regions have shown varying degrees of symptoms of low-temperature stress, with more severe impacts in higher altitude tea gardens, leading to reduced yields or delayed picking. To mitigate the effects of low temperatures and freezing on spring tea, experts from the Tea Special Task Force, Guizhou Tea Research Institute, Zunyi Comprehensive Test Station of the National Tea Industry Technology System, and Guizhou Province Tea Industry Technology System have jointly studied and proposed the following remedial measures: 1. Timely and Moderate Pruning After temperatures stabilize, prune according to the degree of freezing damage to the tea plants, removing frozen branches and leaves promptly. Pruning should be carried out after the temperature rises and will not cause further serious freezing damage. The depth of pruning should vary depending on the severity of the freeze, ideally cutting 2-3 cm deeper than the dead tissue. For lightly frozen tea plants where only the edges of mature leaves or winter…- 0

How is Mi Di Pu’er Tea Made? The Production Method of Mi Di Tea
Mi Di tea has finer twists, many buds, a yellow-green broth, and distinct bitterness and astringency, with the bitterness more pronounced than the astringency. The bitterness transforms into a sweet aftertaste, and there is a hint of orchid fragrance in the tea aroma. Despite its low yield, Mi Di tea is of high quality and favored by many tea enthusiasts. So how is Mi Di Pu'er tea produced? The Production Method of Mi Di Tea 1. Withering: This process allows for the loss of some of the moisture in the fresh leaves. During the moisture loss, some aroma compounds are formed, and some large-molecule ester-soluble sugars are hydrolyzed into small-molecule water-soluble sugars. 2. Fixation: The raw material used for Pu'er raw tea is Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried green tea. Sun-dried green tea is often pan-fired. Due to the high moisture content of the large-leaf variety, fixation must combine covering and shaking to ensure uniform moisture loss and quickly deactivate enzyme activity at high temperatures to prevent oxidation of polyphenols. Some of the moisture is also evaporated, making it easier to roll the leaves into strips. 3. Rolling: This breaks down the cells of the tea leaves to ensure that the tea…- 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. During charcoal baking, the temperature in the baking cage is approximately 120 degrees Celsius. Let’s take a look at…- 0

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.
