Recently, at the 4th China International Tea Expo, Yuexi County in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain gained a lot. Cui Shi brand Cuilan Yuexi was rated as the recommended product of the 4th China International Tea Expo, "Journey of Family Camellia to the Cloud" was rated as one hundred tourist routes in Black Tea Township of China, and Tiewa Tea Garden in He Yao Township was selected as "T20 Most Beautiful Ecological Tea Garden in China Tea Industry".
Yuexi tea production has a long history, which can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Geographically, Yuexi is located in the deep mountains, and it is surrounded by clouds all the year round. It is naturally a place where tea is produced, and it has been one of the producing areas of tribute tea since ancient times.
It was not until 1980s that Yuexi had its own tea brand-Cuilan Yuexi. "A tea picker, less than seventy-five cents a day. A tea maker, less than a piece and a half a day. " In the past, Yuexi "had no job for tea and no market for tea factories", and the income from growing tea was low, which led to the slow development of tea industry.
In the new century, Yuexi County has developed the tea industry according to local conditions, established the tea industrialization construction headquarters and the tea industry poverty alleviation working group, and issued a series of policies and measures to accelerate the development of the tea industry, encouraging farmers to use plots of land to build high-standard tea gardens, rebuild old tea gardens and build new standardized tea factories. Since 20 14, the county has built 315,000 mu of new tea gardens, transformed 80,000 mu of old tea gardens, built or rebuilt 54 small and medium-sized clean tea processing plants, established 2 tea demonstration towns above the provincial level, and established 29 "one village, one product" tea demonstration villages above the county level.
"My family used to be a poor household. By developing tea, I got rid of poverty. There are now 5 acres of tea gardens, and the tea income in one season is about 20,000 yuan. " Nowadays, tea has become a stable income of Cheng Xianhong, a farmer in Acorus Village. Since the beginning of poverty alleviation, Yuexi County has regarded the tea industry as the largest industry in poverty alleviation, exerted the leverage of poverty alleviation policies, and guided poor households to grow tea. For poor households who independently build more than half an acre of tea gardens and transform tea gardens above 1 acre according to technical requirements, they will be given 2,000 yuan per acre and 500 yuan's policy support. Through the transfer of tea gardens, land and mountain farms, they will support qualified poor households to develop tea family farms, train poor households to grow tea, and help poor households to promote large-scale operation. After several years of development, green tea has become a "green bank" to drive people out of poverty and become rich. By the end of 2020, Yuexi has helped nearly 30,000 poor households to rebuild and build 54,000 mu of tea gardens, driving 87,200 poor people and increasing their income by more than 2,000 yuan per capita.
