"The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and 11 other departments recently jointly issued the '22 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry', which also has some special policies for farmers in the cultivation of our Taiwan tea industry." On April 14, at the Ningtai Tea Culture Online Exchange Activity held in Jiangbei District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, Wu Xinhua, president of the Taiwan Nantou Tea Ceremony Association, said that he hopes that after the epidemic slows down, the two sides will have more opportunities to visit and communicate with each other, "feel the mountains and rivers, and do their best for Chinese tea culture together. "
In Wu Xinhua's view, the mainland and Taiwan have the same language and the same species, and they are originally one. Ningbo and Taiwan have a long history. "Tea originated in the Shennong era in ancient legends and have a history of more than 4,700 years. The tea saint Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty has pushed tea culture to a peak in history."
It is reported that the Nantou area of Taiwan is a high mountain tea planting base, and Puli is an export area for local tea farmers to concentrate on selling to the outside world.
Wu Xinhua said that Ningbo’s books collect ancient and modern times, and are an international port, transporting goods and goods from all over the world. "This time we exchanged views on planting, processing and sales, and hoped to promote close cooperation between the two sides in the future."
Ningbo Jiangbei is located on the southeast coast, with mountains and water in the jurisdiction, pleasant climate, and rich tea resources. It is one of the earliest original tea production areas in Ningbo.
"The green tea produced here is folded into rolls, emerald green inlaid with gold, with a very fresh and mellow taste, refreshing and sweet taste. It enjoys a high reputation in the eastern Zhejiang market and is very popular among tea lovers. It is in short supply every year." Wang Jian, technical consultant of the Jiangbei District Tea Association of Ningbo, said that the district has embarked on the path of diversified development of the tea industry, making the tea industry a "leaf" ark for tea farmers to get rich and rural revitalization. "I hope that through this activity, we will deepen tea culture exchanges between the two places and expand tea economic and trade exchanges between the two places."
In 2015, Taiwanese businessman Zhang Kai'an followed the project from Taipei, Taiwan to Ningbo, Zhejiang. Unexpectedly, he has an unfamiliar relationship with the mainland since then.
Zhang Kai'an said that Ningbo Jiangbei green tea has high local popularity and excellent product quality, but its "visibility" in the mainland is low. "This is the same as the situation of Taiwan's high mountain oolong. We hope to use this exchange activity to improve teaching, and both sides share their experiences and professional skills, achieve win-win and prosperous times, and jointly promote to a broader market."
