China is the homeland of tea, and Fujian is a major tea-producing province. In recent years, Fujian's tea industry has continued to carry out discussions, exchanges and research on tea culture, tea industry and tea technology, and explored an innovative model for the overall development of the "three teas".
At present, it is the picking season of Fuding white tea, Wuyi rock tea, Anxi Tieguanyin tea and other teas. Fujian's tea industry is accelerating its integration into cultural tourism, catering, health and other tracks, giving birth to new products and new formats such as new tea drinks, tea delicacies, and tea estates, and forming new tea cultural elements. Nowadays, the ancient Chinese tea culture is constantly integrated into public life and is catching up with the new "national tide".
