Deep development of tea industry in southern Shaanxi

Business club news on August 6 regular tea drinkers in southern Shaanxi all know that tea before and after the Qingming Dynasty is mostly needed for tea tasting Because of the use of traditional technology, only at this time can tea have the characteristics of "fragrant, strong taste, and resistant to foam and green" In this year's spring tea market, the price of tea has soared all the way, generally from more than 2000 yuan to more than 1000 yuan per catty It seems that the tea industry has achieved two flourishing production and sales, so spring tea accounts for the vast majority of tea output value In fact, in addition to tea in spring, tea is also produced in summer and autumn, and the output could have been several times higher than that of spring tea However, at present, Ankang summer and autumn tea is not only low in total amount, but also unsatisfactory in unit output value The traditional craft, the quality difference price low saying: "the spring tea fragrance, the summer tea astringency, the autumn tea good to drink picks not" According to the introduction, due to the high temperature, strong light and increased photosynthesis, the tea polyphenol content in summer and autumn tea is much higher than that in spring tea, the content of catechins in tea is high, the content of amino acids and aromatic substances is low, the bitter and astringent taste of ordinary green tea is heavy, and the aroma is poor If the traditional technology is still used, the quality of summer and autumn tea can not be compared with that of spring tea Compared with spring tea, at present, summer and autumn tea in southern Shaanxi can only be made into ordinary tea The price of tea has also declined dramatically, and the profit has been greatly reduced In addition, due to the transfer of labor force in mountainous areas, most young people choose to work and live in cities, and the rural surplus population is mainly the old, the weak and the disabled In addition, the lack of training of tea pickers and the lack of skilled workers make the cost of tea leaf picking in southern Shaanxi increase year by year The high temperature in summer and the unbearable heat of picking tea in the hot sun make the labor cost especially expensive For various reasons, the tea farmers in southern Shaanxi gradually give up picking summer and autumn tea, causing a large number of fresh leaves of summer and autumn tea to be wasted Therefore, the tea production in southern Shaanxi presents the phenomenon of "busy in spring, loose in summer, idle in autumn and scattered in winter" In general, most of the tea farms and farmers only harvest one season of spring tea and only conduct one spring pipe, which not only makes the overall benefit of tea production low, but also easily causes the tea garden to be barren, overgrown with weeds, diseases and insect pests What's more fatal is that the pesticide residues of tea in Fujian and other places were found to exceed the standard not long ago, and experts believe that pathogens are easy to grow in summer and autumn At this time, the pesticide residues of tea are more serious than that of spring tea, which makes the development of summer and autumn tea industry more difficult "At present, our tea is basically sold in the market in the form of gift tea and group purchase tea, which is often in short supply," said the owner of a tea factory in southern Shaanxi "And the development of summer and autumn tea is bound to reasonably cultivate tree crown, realize machine cutting and mining, and realize multi tea production to meet market demand, which all need greater investment, with great risk." "Nowadays, the whole market is not optimistic about the summer and autumn green tea produced in the traditional way Without good product quality and selling points, the development of the summer and autumn tea industry in southern Shaanxi is very difficult," said Sun Ziyu, chief of the art section of the tea and mulberry garden of Ankang Forestry Bureau 70% is wasted On the one hand, it has great development potential It only pays attention to the production of spring tea, despises the full utilization of summer and autumn tea, and lacks long-term public products On the other hand, only focusing on the production of green tea, tea drinks, tea food, tea medicine, tea tourism and other multi-functional development is basically blank, the utilization of resources is low, and the comprehensive benefits are not high This results in that the spring tea accounts for about 70% of the total amount, while the summer and autumn tea only accounts for about 30% On the whole, the utilization rate of tea raw materials is about 30%, and nearly 70% of the raw materials are wasted in vain, which results in the overall low tea output and the restriction of tea industrialization In fact, the forest coverage rate in southern Shaanxi is high, the water quality is kept above grade II all the year round, and it is generally in the area of high latitude, middle altitude and little sunshine, and it is far away from industrial pollution, the occurrence of tea plant diseases is less, the input of agricultural chemicals is small, and there is basically no pesticide residue The natural conditions for developing summer and autumn tea here are very superior Many experts believe that, first of all, we can improve the quality of summer and autumn tea, make full use of summer and autumn tea resources, and improve the overall efficiency of tea production Second, because the quality of summer and autumn tea determines that the price is much lower than the famous spring tea, and the low price determines that the production of summer and autumn tea must be low-cost, so the development of summer and autumn tea must be mechanized picking To achieve mechanized tea picking, mechanical pruning is an indispensable condition, because it can not only save labor and cost, ensure timely picking, but also realize standardized management of tea garden and accelerate the healthy development of tea industry Nowadays, the new variety of selenium rich black tea developed by Ziyang County in order to improve the utilization rate of fresh tea leaves in summer and autumn has reached the standard of high-quality black tea in appearance, color, aroma, taste and physical and chemical indexes through continuous exploration and development, especially the selenium content of 0.762 mg / kg, which is far higher than that of green tea As long as the tea is processed deeply, the market prospect of summer and autumn tea is very broad Its deep-processing product development extends to all fields of life, making candy, pastry and other food, using tea extract to make antibacterial and deodorizing products, and can also be widely used in cosmetics, detergents, tea dyed clothing, etc The development of summer and autumn tea ultimately depends on the leading enterprises However, there are many leading enterprises in southern Shaanxi that need to develop summer and autumn tea It is difficult for foreign enterprises to attract and local enterprises grow slowly Up to now, there are only 10 leading tea enterprises with sales of more than 10 million yuan in Ankang City, which are still in the "four dispersive" state of decentralized tea planting, decentralized processing, decentralized brand and decentralized marketing Hanzhong, also a tea city in Shaanxi Province, has 710 processing plants, but the overall scale is small Small and medium-sized tea processing plants are relatively high-risk for the development of summer and autumn tea, but also lack the strength of market development Ankang has clearly put forward in the 12th Five year plan that, according to the beverage consumption trend of "nutrition, convenience, speed, nature and diversity", it will form a new type of tea beverage, introduce 1-2 powerful enterprises to participate in the development, and produce 1 billion bottles of tea beverage annually Besides, black tea, oolong tea, pressed tea, flower tea, instant tea, tea bags, herbal tea and other tea drinks are also planned to develop and develop series of tea products, such as tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, caffeine, tea flavors, theanine, tea fiber and gynostemma pentaphyllum health products, so as to improve the utilization ratio and comprehensive benefits of resources "We are introducing Shaanxi coal group to develop tea drinks by combining selenium rich mineral water with summer and autumn tea in Ziyang County, and we are implementing deep processing projects of summer and autumn tea such as tea polyphenol extraction in Pingli County," said Sun Ziyu, chief of art section of tea and mulberry garden of Ankang forestry Bureau.
