We started picking spring tea in the beginning of spring, and until now we have picked more than a dozen batches, and the faster the spring tea is picked, the better it will grow. Chen Xiangqing, director of the ecological tea garden of the octagonal forest farm in Longzhou County, said that since last year, the local climate is suitable, so that this year's spring tea picking time is earlier than in previous years.
Since the spring tea picking, the tea garden has more than 100 catties of tea a day, and the picking period will continue until Qingming, it is expected that the entire tea garden will produce 1000 catties of dry tea, and the price of dry tea per catty is about 380 yuan, and the economic benefits are considerable.
I am a native of Bajiao Township, and I come every day during the peak season of tea picking, and my income is about 100 yuan a day. Villager Aunt Huang is from a village near the tea garden, and as the tea picking enters the peak season, the tea garden will invite nearby villagers to help pick tea, which effectively drives the villagers to work nearby and promotes rural revitalization.
