Ecological tea garden

Demonstration Tea Garden

The company adopts the model of "company+base (cooperative)+farmer". As of now, 99 high-quality ecological bases have been established in the tea producing areas of the province, connecting nearly 100 professional cooperatives. The total tea garden area is 43000 hectares, of which 9660 hectares have passed the international certification of CERES Organic Tea in Germany.

Tea Garden Management

The company has formulated the "Base Tea Garden Management Rules", which continuously strengthen base management based on the "five unified" standards (i.e. unified fertilization, unified pesticide application, unified picking, unified processing, and unified storage and preservation standards). Through controlling equity participation, contracts, orders, exclusive sales, rebates, and other forms, a close interest linkage mechanism has been formed with the base, which has driven 500000 tea farmers and increased their enthusiasm for scientific tea planting and tea making.
In addition, the company has passed the ISO9001:2008 quality management system, ISO9001:2000 quality management system, GB/T28001:2001 occupational health and safety management system, and established a product quality traceability system from tea gardens to tea cups, achieving "production records, information inquiry, and flow tracking".

Tea farmer training

The company allocates a certain amount of money for professional training of tea farmers every year to ensure the quality of tea supplies from the source. At present, the company has held provincial tea base work meetings for many years in a row, guiding tea farmers from various aspects such as policy, technology and market. In addition, the company sends technical personnel or holds processing technology and market information training courses every year, and distributes materials to guide manufacturers and tea farmers in the field.

Base construction

The company has established 99 high-quality ecological tea garden bases with a total area of 645000 acres, of which a total of 145000 acres of tea gardens have passed the standard certification of countries and regions such as the European Union, the United States, and Japan. The company adheres to the "Five Unifications" management of the base (i.e. unified fertilization standards, unified pesticide application standards, unified picking standards, unified processing standards, and unified storage and preservation standards), and has formed a close interest linkage mechanism with the base through controlling equity participation, contracts, orders, underwriting, rebates, and other forms, which has driven over 300000 tea farmers to increase their income and become rich.

The company has passed the ISO9001:2008 quality management system, ISO9001:2000 quality management system, GB/T28001:2001 occupational health and safety management system, and established a product quality traceability system from tea gardens to tea cups, achieving "production records, information inquiry, and flow tracking".
