Silver Castle Ration Tea Brand Story

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-30

Yinbao black tea and Yinbao green tea are collectively referred to as Yinbao ration tea, which are produced in Yinbao Village, Suiyang County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. It is a popular ration tea brand founded by Qiannongfeng Tea Industry, which started from operating Meitan tea.

The left out Yinbao Village Bailian tea

Yinbao Village Tea is located in the Bailian area, which is also the place where Yinbao Red Rations Tea and Yinbao Green Rations Tea were born. According to local tea farmers in Bailian, the tea was planted by the first of them in Meitan County, Guizhou Province, decades ago. At that time, it was said that when the tea leaves began to be picked, they would come to buy the green and fresh tea leaves. It's a pity that it backfired, from the time the tea was planted to the time it was picked, no one from Meitan County came once.

The Bailian Tea Plantation has been almost completely covered with ferns.

Although Suiyang County and Meitan County are adjacent to each other, there is still a certain distance. Maybe it's because it's too far away, or maybe it's because the area of local tea plantations in Meitan County is not what it used to be, or maybe it's something else. In short, the other party has not come to buy it once.

The Bailian tea plantation that was gradually dug up

No one has come to buy it, but the tea leaves have already entered the harvest period. For a while, everyone was in a hurry. In desperation, everyone began to ponder what to do with their own tea garden. In this way, some farmers embarked on the road of learning Xi to make tea, and sold the tea they made to small teahouses or tea drinkers in the surrounding markets such as Puchang, Jincheng, Suiyang, Zunyi, etc. But some farmers have chosen a different path – digging up the tea plantations. This is simply not necessary to study and make tea, let alone worry about sales. In an instant, dozens of acres of tea plantations disappeared.

It can be said that the main reason for digging up tea plantations is that tea is a strange thing, and farmers lack confidence in it, afraid that they will not be able to make tea well, and they are also afraid that they will not be able to sell it after making it.

There have also been farmers who have taken the initiative to take up important responsibilities and contribute to the tea and farmers of Bailian. He collects tea made by other farmers and sells it at the Meitan County Tea Market. Due to the lack of tea-making equipment, our technology is relatively backward. Although it is said to be handmade tea, the quality is not ideal, and the tea made by the advanced tea-making machines on the market does not look good. In addition, the machine production efficiency in Meitan County is high, and it is often cheaper than that made by Bailian farmers.

There is no doubt that sales in the tea market in Meitan County are not optimistic. Seeing that the tea was not selling, in this way, people dug up the tea plantations one after another. In the end, more than half of the tea plantations planted in Meitan County disappeared.

Nowadays, young people don't want to work in agriculture at home, they go to work in other places. Most of the people in the countryside are elderly, and the remaining tea plantations that have not been eliminated are facing a situation where they are unmanaged.

Some of the tea farmers who guarded their tea fields were too old to work, and some went out to do other work, and the tea plantations began to be abandoned again. In particular, due to the impact of the economy and online shopping in recent years, sales have become more difficult, and some farmers have started to dig up tea plantations to make a living.

Silver Castle Ration Tea was born

Huang Hong, the founder of Qiannongfeng Tea Industry who came out of Yinbao Village, felt that it would be a pity if he only made tea such as Meitan, Fenggang and Duyun, and did not even use the tea garden in front of his hometown. It's too undeserved. Moreover, these tea plantations are almost all on the edge of the forest, and the environment is ecological and pollution-free. Due to poor sales by farmers, there is little management and maintenance of tea gardens, especially the lack of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The only bad thing is that these tea gardens are no-tillage tea gardens, which means that the soil between the rows has never been ploughed, and the soil is very compact.

Such a tea garden needs to be ploughed well to increase the aeration of the soil and facilitate the growth of the root system. In order to further improve the quality of tea.

It is precisely because of these reasons mentioned above that Qiannongfeng Tea Industry, which started with tea in Meitan County, took decisive action and began the road of tea making in Yinbao Village. Qiannongfeng Tea Industry first developed Yinbao Red, and then developed Yinbao Green. Because "red" and "green" are like the difference between human genders, they are anthropomorphically called sister and brother tea. Qiannongfeng Tea Industry and farmers worked together to maintain the tea plantations of Bailian, sold Bailian's tea together, and launched Yinbao black tea and Yinbao green tea named after the village's name, Yinbao.

The emergence of Yinbao Red and Yinbao Green Sister and Brother Tea is aimed at making use of the tea plantations in Yinbao Village and benefiting farmers. Maybe that's what I feel like home. With the emergence of Yinbao Red and Yinbao Green Sister and Brother Tea brands, we hope to change something and contribute to rural revitalization.
