"I have been insomnia lately, I can't sleep at night, I heard that the jujube bud tea made of the buds of the jujube tree in our village is a cure for insomnia, and after drinking, I finally had a good night's sleep last night!" Aunt Wang, who was chatting with her neighbors at the mouth of the alley after dinner, said with great interest: "Originally, I only knew that our jujube was full of treasures, but I didn't expect that the leaves of the jujube tree were also treasures......"
As a special agricultural product in Dawang Town, jujube is one of the pillar industries of Dawang Town. In order to strengthen product protection, serve the masses on the basis of ensuring the original taste, and increase the income of the masses, Dawang Town has successively registered two trademarks of Dawang Chuanyuan and Dawang Ming and Qing Dynasties, actively extending the industrial chain, expanding new ideas, relying on Baimu Forest Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Pujian Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative, and developing a series of products such as jujube tea, jujube wine, jujube honey, jujube vinegar, steamed jujube, jujube cake, jujube wood cultural and creative products. On this basis, we actively responded to the work requirements of "ten spells", took the initiative to innovate, extended the industrial chain in reverse, and focused on the tender green that just emerged on the branches of jujube trees in spring.
It is understood that the picking period of jujube bud tea is extremely short, and the golden picking period is only 7 days. There are also strict "5 non-picking principles", that is, not picking in the early morning, not picking branches and leaves without dew, not picking in cloudy and rainy days, not picking at noon, and not picking in the evening when the buds naturally fall green. Because the jujube trees are full of spikes, a skilled picker can only pick about one tael a day (after moxibustion is dry). Every five catties of young shoots can fry one pound of jujube bud tea, which shows its preciousness.
A cup of high-quality jujube bud tea can be said to have been tempered by thousands of tempers, and the tender jujube buds after picking need to be cleaned, dried and watered, slowly fried over low heat, repeatedly kneaded, and continued to be fried over low heat and slow fry, and fried until slightly dry, which is considered a great success.
Jujube bud tea has a history of thousands of years in China, is a kind of tea drink carefully selected and processed from the young shoots and new leaves of the jujube tree, rich in vitamins and minerals, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, refreshing the mind, promoting digestion and improving sleep quality, long-term drinking, help to enhance immunity, promote metabolism, is considered a natural health drink.
At present, the jujube bud tea industry chain has been basically completed and fully listed, with a total production of about 200 kilograms of jujube bud tea in 2024, achieving an output value of more than 20 yuan and driving the masses to increase their income by more than 20,000 yuan. In the future, Dawang Town will continue to extend the relevant industrial chain, expand production, actively drive the employment of the masses, and provide a platform for the masses to increase their income at their doorstep.
