The tea garden spits out new green, and spring is singing. At present, spring tea from all over Suiyang County has ushered in the picking season. A ridge of tea trees stretches into patches, and the tender green sprouts are full of vitality under the sunshine, and major tea companies have organized workers to go up the mountain to harvest the first "golden leaves" of this year.
A bud, a leaf, a touch of incense, one person and one basket are busy picking tea. Walking along the winding village road into Daxi Village, Puchang Town, the tea garden in the mountains exudes the unique mellow aroma of golden tea, and the hard-working tea pickers and the green of the tea trees, the blue of the sky, and the white of the clouds reflect each other, and a new picture of the beautiful countryside of "strong village, rich people, beautiful scenery, and harmony" is splashed like an ink painting.
"The golden tea stubble picking is very particular, and it is necessary to have one bud and one core, so as to ensure the quality and taste of the tea. At the top of Daxi Jianfeng in Puchang Town, Li Guixiang, production manager of Guizhou Daxi Jianfeng Tea Industry Co., Ltd., is busy organizing workers to pick the best quality Mingqian tea according to the standard of a single bud.
"We have more than 200 tea pickers every day, 30 yuan a pound per piece, and the income per person is about 100 yuan a day, and the picking cycle is between 30 and 40 days. Li Kai, general manager of Guizhou Daxi Jianfengding Tea Industry Co., Ltd., said.
According to Li Kai, in order to pick high-quality shoots as soon as possible, the tea garden organizes nearby villagers to pick in the tea garden, so that the villagers can not only increase their income, but also take care of their families. Between the ridges and greenery, the workers took the "greenery" of spring into their pockets.
Zheng Zhoubi, a villager who lives in Daxi Village, Puchang Town, is very satisfied with the job at her doorstep. "We work here all year round, and we have an income of about 2,000 yuan from tea picking, and the salary of migrant workers is more than 12,000 yuan a year, which is still very good. ”
"Tea picking is 30 yuan a catty, and you can pick about 5 catties a day, and the income is 150 yuan. The scenery on the mountains in the spring was nice and the owner was also very welcoming to us and arranged lunch and fruits, which was very fulfilling. Working here, there is also Zheng Zhoubi's sister Zheng Zhouxue, she skillfully picks tea leaves, looking at the full pocket of tea, it is difficult to hide her joy.
Golden tea is a high-quality variety of tea in green tea, also known as "giant panda in tea", commonly known as "one or two golden buds", its new shoots and young buds are yellow, dry tea is bright yellow, soup color is bright yellow, amino acid content is particularly high. Since the opening of the tea garden, the company has strictly implemented green standards from planting, picking and processing to ensure product quality.
The tea leaves in the tea garden on the mountain are fragrant, and the machines in the factory under the mountain roar. Every time a new tea is launched, Li Kai's processing plant is in full swing, and the sales volume is in short supply, mainly sold to all parts of Guizhou, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places.
"This year's tea growth is better than last year's, and it is expected to produce about 2 tons of dry tea and an output value of 6 million. Li Kai said that next, the company will lead more local people to plant golden tea to increase income and get rich together. "We plan to develop an area of more than 5,000 acres, and the company will provide farmers with corresponding support such as technology and fertilizer free of charge and purchase tea greens, so as to help tea farmers increase their income and get rich, and boost the development of rural revitalization. ”
The average altitude of Daxi Village, Puchang Town, is about 1,000 meters, and the perennial clouds and mist are conducive to the growth and development of tea trees and the accumulation of organic matter, which gives Daxi Village unique resource advantages and ecological advantages for the development of ecological tea industry.

Zhang Wuming, the manager of Guizhou Yunqingxiang Tea Tourism Comprehensive Development Co., Ltd., said that now, the tea garden has entered a bumper production period, "Next, the company will carry out fine management, add new processing plants, and continue to improve the quality of tea." ”
