Spring tea available in the market

On March 7, despite the rainy weather, people could still feel the warm atmosphere in greenhouses in Fuquanshan tea plantation located in Ningbo East Lake tourist resort, where tea-picking workers were busy picking the tender buds on the tea tree.

The Fuquanshan tea plantation is the first profit maker in this spring. Due to the rainy and cold weather this year, the spring tea grown in open farmland will arrive on markets late than usual. With a total investment of 60 million yuan, the plantation built as an agricultural technology demonstration park last year is a modern steel frame greenhouse with 5,000 square meters in area. The harvest in the greenhouse comes more than 10 days earlier than the ordinary tea plantations.

The head of the plantation said, “we only picked 15 kilograms of fresh leaves yesterday, which means we can get 5 kg fried tea. It is known that tea grown in greenhouse tastes not as good as those grown in open farm in flavor, so the price is a little bit lower. However, being so rare in market, the tea can still be priced as high as 4,000 yuan per kilogram.
