"The fragrance of Wenling tea has been enchanting for a thousand years." In recent years, Wenmao Village in Mawan Town has leveraged its resource advantages, using the 1,100-plus mu organic tea garden in the ancient Wenling tea garden area as a carrier.

The enterprises then manage and pick the ancient tea gardens uniformly, employing local residents to pick tea from individual trees and large trees, and processing and selling the tea according to different categories of tea trees. This management model reduces production costs and increases income for tea farmers, gradually changing their operating methods and concepts, and enhancing their…

"Pruning tea trees involves leveling the canopy, removing weak branches while retaining strong ones, and clearing around the base to improve ventilation and light penetration. When fertilizing, trenches should be dug above the tea plants, with organic fertilizers being the primary choice. After fertilizing, cover the area with soil promptly. This helps the tea plants accumulate nutrients safely over winter and reduces pest and disease issues in the following year." As Mu Chenghong explained, he demonstrated these garden management techniques to the tea farmers.The golden autumn season brings wealth from the fertile land; after the rain, the tea gardens are a verdant green, layer upon layer, like a poem shrouded in mist.

Sanyang Town in Shexian County is located along the mysterious 30th parallel north, endowed with exceptional natural conditions. The area features undulating mountains, misty surroundings, and fertile soil, making it the birthplace and core production area of the flat-shaped tea ancestor, "Laozhu Dafang."

In recent years, with the official introduction and implementation of the Technical Specifications for Carbon Footprint Labeling and Certification in the Tea Industry, the tea industry has experienced a green revolution. Recently, Yangzhou Juyuanchun Tea Specialized Cooperative was awarded one of the first carbon footprint label certifications in the country, making it the only tea company in the Yangzhou area to receive this certification. This provides a feasible model for the green transformation of the entire tea industry chain in our city. The carbon footprint label refers to the total emissions and removals of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide throughout the entire lifecycle of tea, from planting, harvesting, processing, transportation, to sales, as calculated by the technical specifications. It is an important indicator for measuring the green and low-carbon levels of both companies and products.

The 20th National Congress Report of the Communist Party of China explicitly stated that "we should strengthen the in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research led by enterprises." The in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research has become a new requirement for the national innovation system in the new development stage. Yongfu Town, the core area of the Longyan City Zhangping Taiwan Farmers' Entrepreneurship Park in Fujian Province, is the most concentrated and largest tea production base on the mainland invested in by Taiwanese tea farmers. After understanding that the brand awareness of Yongfu's Taiwanese high mountain tea was insufficient and the "tea-tourism" industry had strong cyclical characteristics leading to poor returns, the practice team started from the concept of "in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research."
