Entering Fuding: The First Intimate Contact with China's "Hometown of White Tea"

The Daqin White Tea Base in Fuding was first established in 1971. In the past, tea gardens were managed by educated youth who went up the mountains and down to the countryside. Now, they have developed into a modern tea production base with 300 employees. The company invested 700000 yuan to purchase a series of equipment, including monitoring probes. These electronic facilities can not only monitor the growth and picking of tea in a timely manner, but also facilitate remote observation by buyers. Through high-resolution observation equipment, it is even possible to see insect holes on the leaves of white tea, which appear because the tea garden does not use any pesticides. The drying process of tea strictly follows ancient methods. Tea leaves are placed in the sun to dry, and all tools used in tea making are made of natural wood. Chen Ying, Chairman of Daqin Company, introduced that "tea is a plant that needs care. It not only requires pure air and warm sunshine, but also requires producers to use their own hands to convey emotions to them.".
