Recently, an incident of "tea farmers are not allowed to fry tea without permission" has sparked a big discussion on the Internet.
The original source came from a netizen's revelations, and he told what happened while taking a video:
- Now the Zhangjiajie Agricultural Bureau does not allow farmers to roast tea privately, and the two machines used for tea finishing at home have been sealed......
The video screen shows that the unit that affixes the seal is the words "XX Berry Tea Special Rectification Office".
Tea farmers find it difficult to understand this policy:
- I have been roasting tea at home for decades, I have a tea garden at home, and there is a small workshop, and now I suddenly say that I don't let roast tea, and I still put a seal, how will I live in the future?
As soon as the spring tea began, it was forcibly pressed the pause button, and the grievances in my heart had nowhere to be said, so I could only post it on the Internet for everyone to comment on.
At the end of the video, this netizen also came to a conclusion: With such a trend, tea will definitely rise in the future!
As soon as the video is released, it can be said that it has stirred up a thousand waves with one stone!
Soon after, the original author's story was deleted, but the Internet has a memory, and the video is still widely circulated on the Internet.
After the video was exposed, netizens also expressed their incomprehension and put forward valuable opinions:
Why do farmers need documents to roast tea at home?
When there is no fame, you tea farmers, after you have fame, don't do it, I'll come! Under the policy, a testing equipment is more than 100,000 yuan, and you can't afford it!
Are you not allowed to cook at home in the future?
Some netizens said that this seems to be the same as smoking bacon privately last year!
So, what exactly is the incident?
Is there a misunderstanding in the middle? Or is there another statement from the Zhangjiajie Agricultural Bureau?
After the incident continued to ferment, the official response finally came:
First: the staff planned a bright future for berry tea
Berry tea is a key development project in this district in the near future, and in order to start this signboard, the district has spent tens of millions of dollars to carry out domestic and foreign publicity......
Now that the popularity is there, the next step is to make berry tea bigger and stronger.
Second: the problems faced by berry tea in the local area
There are many farmers and small workshops in the area, and they are also producing berry tea, but the quality is uneven, which can easily affect the berry tea brand.
Once there is a quality problem, the brand of berry tea will be smashed, and the funds invested in the early stage will be abandoned halfway.
Third: the leaders of the district have come up with a plan
In the face of this situation, the district leaders focused on the deployment, since they want to go to the world with berry tea, they must control the quality from the source and carry out a standardized production!
Therefore, a while ago, I went to shut down some small workshops that did not meet the requirements.
Fourth: There are many benefits to doing so
It is also for the future development of the district, and a unified certificate will be handled in the later stage, as long as it meets the requirements and meets the standards, it can reopen a small workshop.
The purpose is to make a market standard.
Speaking of policy, let's take a look at this berry tea, what kind of tea is it?
Zhangjiajie berry tea is grown in the Wuling Mountains, and the raw material is a small-leaved vine tea.
This kind of berry tea has a long history, and has been the drinking tea of the local Tujia mountain people for thousands of years, and also has the title of "king of flavonoids" in the plant world.
Why is berry tea white?
Because it is the dihydromyricetin in it that exudes out, it eventually crystallizes to form hoarfrost.
In previous years, very few people knew about the benefits of berry tea, but with the increase in publicity and popularity, the local area began to develop the industry with great fanfare.
Every place has a saying that the mountain eats the mountain, and in the face of such a policy, tea farmers have opinions:
This berry tea has been fried like this since ancient times, why can't it be done now?
Netizens also have opinions on this, and there are roughly the following four directions
(1) Although berry tea is a local brand, the trademark of each tea manufacturer is different, and they are all sold separately.
- If they are all like this "unified and standardized production", is there no suspicion of "one-size-fits-all policy"?
(2) Each product has three grades of "high, medium and low", so that consumers have more room for choice
- As long as the sanitary clearance is met and the basic quality supervision requirements are met, a hundred flowers should be allowed to bloom.
(3) Some folk craftsmen of the older generation have fried tea for a lifetime
- Not only has a reputation, but also trophies, many people have drunk tea for a lifetime, and they have not seen a problem, for such old craftsmen, they should also be given a one-size-fits-all approach?
(4) Policy requires a gradual process
- Originally, tea farmers could make berry tea when they bought a machine, but now they are required to standardize production, does it increase their burden?
Or, let the relevant departments advance some funds to help tea farmers make the transition, have you ever thought about it?
After the official response, the attitude of "Qilu One Point" was clear: it had changed its taste
- Standardized production is not the same as "exclusive production"!
- The traditional tea farmer's craft has been passed down for many generations, which is a big selling point, but now it has stopped small workshops across the board, deviating from the purpose of standardized production.
The author's point of view
From a policy point of view, it is not possible to completely deny the "starting point of the Agricultural Bureau", but everything is a double-edged sword!
- Stir-frying tea at home is not only the inheritance of cultural skills, but also the economic source of tea farmers.
Sum up:
In terms of policy, it is indeed a bit tough!
Like what:
- If you tea farmers can't do it, then hand over the fresh tea, which will inevitably make netizens think that this is a "monopoly in disguise"!
It is suggested that while issuing policies, we should listen more to public opinion and solve the practical difficulties of tea farmers, rather than directly sealing them and letting them figure out their own solutions.
Such tough law enforcement cannot be tolerated!
It's also very easy to make mistakes!
