[main holder]: the audience friend hello, joyous Look at the science and technology park. Zhou Rongcheng is a tea farmer who lives in Pan Tuo Town, Zhangzhou City, Fujian province. He has been planting tea for ten years, and every summer he worries about insect pests. Take medicine. It costs money. No drugs and no sales. But in 2010, the situation suddenly reversed, and no one wanted to get the green tea, which was bitten by insects. In that year, it sold a high price.
[interview] Zhou Rongcheng, a farmer in the Tupu village of Pan Tuo Town, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, can sell more than twenty yuan a catty.
[interview] Zhou Rongcheng, a farmer in the Tupu village of Pan Tuo Town, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province: I really don't believe it at the beginning. I said, why? No one wants to sell tea shops here.
[explanation]: but is it not, the past, the insects of the tea, that is not normal growth, when the farmers sell, they have to pick out and throw away. Even if it is, it can not be sold for twenty yuan a kilo.
[interview] Zhou Rongcheng of pun Po village, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province: before selling, most, the market is three yuan, more than two yuan, this is the best.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carried out long Yu study: Generally speaking, we still hate it a little more, the more serious it eats, in fact its raw materials are better materials.
[explanation]: other people dislike the teacup, in the eyes of this man, he has become a baby, what is the medicine that he sells in his gourd? What is this man?
this man is called Yu Shu, a person in Nantou County, Taiwan. From the great grandfather began to grow tea, the whole family has more than 1000 acres of tea garden in Taiwan. However, because the local planting area is limited and the labor cost is more and more expensive, so we want to continue to develop here in Fujian. However, the situation here is quite different from what he imagined.
although pan Tuo Town is an ancient tea Town, many growers have already changed their lines of tea.
[interview] in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, Zhangpu County, Zhangpu County, Cang Li village, planting household King doctrine: now farmers have cut off the tea garden, destroyed ah. There are some tea farmers who grow bananas and grow flowers.
[interview] Zhou Rongcheng, a farmer in pun Po village, Pago Town, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province: there are too many insects, they can't finish, a spray, today and tomorrow, there are worms.
[explanation]: it is reasonable to say that the medicine can be prevented, but the money sold by the tea is not enough to buy the pesticide, and Zhou Rongcheng is going to give up the summer tea that has been bitten by the insect.
Yu discovered that more than Zhou Rongcheng did, many people gave up management in the summer.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd., Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, a Tea Co., Ltd. to carry out long Yu: when it comes to summer tea, in fact, they are almost all in a case of giving up management, let the insects go to eat, they are the rest of the plough, and when the price of winter tea is a little good, they go to farming again. .
[explanation]: it means that the whole summer, the tea garden is gone by it. Because of the lack of benefit, the area of the tea garden has been reduced by nearly half in the last few years.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carried out long Yu study: in fact, we can use it well in the light of local conditions, the best one in the middle, they waste it, so we think it's a pity after we saw it.
commentary: Yu Shu wants to reuse the summer tea that people do not want. What should he do? He saw an opportunity from Zhou Rongcheng's insect pest.
Zhou Rongcheng's tea garden is located next to the Liangshan reservoir and enters the summer. There are so many green leafhoppers that the tea leaves are bitten by the disease.
[interview] Executive Director Yu Shu Xue, a tea company in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, looks like he is sick and malnourished.
not only that, the shape is not good, but the leaf is not flat, but it rolls up. It is also a tea leaf with two leaves in one heart, which is much smaller than that without insects.
leaves were bitten like this, but Yu was very happy. These tea leaves were the raw materials he needed.
but, the local people do not want things, what can he change?
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, to carry out a long common school: I asked you to drink tea just done the Oriental beauty. Come on, you see, it has a very strong smell of honey. Many people will ask if your tea has added honey. Not really. It is a very natural fermented aroma of tea. No matter how you soak it, it's sweet.
[interview] Huang Mingzhong, a tea maker in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province: the tea tree grows too fast in summer and its tannins will be much more, so it will be bitterness in general.
[explanation]: tea tannin refers to the polyphenols of tea, in summer because of the high temperature, the tea tree grows fast, the tea polyphenols accumulated in the leaves are much more, so the summer tea is very bitter and bitter, the general people don't like it too much.
[interview] in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, Zhangpu County, Zhangpu County, Cang Li village, planting household King doctrine: summer no one wants, because summer summer tea, the weather is high, do not taste it.
[commentary]: the summer tea, which was not good to drink, was in the hands of Yu Shu, but it had a sweet smell, which could arouse Zhou Rongcheng's great interest. What is the secret of this?
this tea is called Oriental beauty. It is a famous tea in Taiwan.
[interview] Executive Director Yu Shu Xue, a tea company in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, most of which are concentrated in peach, bamboo and Miao areas. It is Taoyuan County, Hsinchu county and Miaoli County, which is also the birthplace of the earliest Oriental beauty.
[explanation]: people there have found that the Oriental beauty drinks a unique honey aroma, one of which is to use the teas that have been bitten by the insect as raw materials.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carries out long Yu: you want to make the Oriental beauty, it must be borrowed by the small green leafhopper.
: the green leafhopper, which has always been a pest, is an irreplaceable treasure in the eyes of Yu.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carried out long Yu: of course many pests, including our little green leafhopper, red spider, thrips, floating dust, and aphids, but at present, according to what we know, the tip of the buds eaten by the cicada and the taste of the honey The Tao is the strongest.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carried out a long study: in Taiwan, there will often appear a situation in the rear of the small green leafhopper.
: aphids will have a bad effect on the taste of Oriental beauty. Aphids will not fly and will be mixed with tea during processing.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd., Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, carried out long Yu: after rubbing, its juice remains in the tea leaves, it will produce a more choking taste, it will not have a very simple honey fragrance. This is one of our amazing places where we can't find aphids.
[explanation]: Zhou Rongcheng did not think that the former most headache little green leafhopper was still a baby, and he had to rely on them after his own tea garden.
[host]: the original pest has now become a baby, and the summer tea in the pan Tuo Town does not have to be fallow again, and bad things have become a good thing for the growers. For Yu Shu Xue, if there are more growers to grow summer tea, pan Tuo can become the base of Oriental beauty. Ordinarily, if you want the tea to be bitten by insect, as long as you keep the worm, you can use it. But it's not so simple.
first, the green leafhopper has always been a pest. Farmers used to see drugs, but now we must protect them. So Yu is worried that they will be accidentally injured during planting.
[interview] Yu Shu Xue, executive director of a tea limited company in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province: what we are most worried about is pesticide residue. Oriental beauty tea has long been recognized as a pollution-free tea in the world, because it only sprinkled pesticides, the green leafhopper disappeared. It can't produce the taste of this honey.
[explanation]: the little green leafhopper is very important for the role of the Oriental beauty. It must be known that it can not be taken, because they have to do important work on the leaves, so what do they do?
the cicada is a kind of spiny insect, the way to eat tea. It's more special.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carried out long Yu: it was not bitten, not like this. The so-called eating, it sucks its juice, the grass is the same, so you look, in fact, its leaves are all complete.
: the green leafhopper produces a watery saliva when it sucks tea leaves. Tea is no longer bitter, this saliva is very critical.
its saliva contains enzymes that help insects digest and absorb juice from leaves. The polyphenol oxidase can inhibit the accumulation of tea polyphenols in leaves and reduce the bitter taste.
therefore, tea shops have made a clear request with growers that pesticides can not be used all year round. However, many people of Pan Tuo's tea farmers are already getting old. The experience of their ancestors' tea planting tells them that the tea leaves that have been bitten by insects have never been collected. The Yu and Shu in Taiwan, really is not a joke, will accept this kind of tea?
[interview] Fujian province Zhangzhou city of a Tea Co., Ltd. to carry out long Yu: This deviated from their existing ideas, tea does not spray pesticide, it was eaten by insects, you really willing to buy?
: to make tea farmers feel at ease, tea farms promise to sign contracts, and they will buy them as long as they do not take drugs. However, the price of tea will vary from ten yuan to thirty yuan per catty.
[interview] Zhou Rongcheng, a farmer in the Tupu village of Pan Tuo Town, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province: more than 200 pounds were sent yesterday. The one I sold yesterday was 25 yuan, and the price was very good. I told the Yu general that I tried to reach the highest price of 30 yuan.
[explanation]: this price is unprecedented, in addition, the money can be saved, the income is very good, everyone will not take medicine.
after learning from the scene, I found a problem. The small tea garden is usually very clean, and there are almost no weeds.
[interview] a Tea Co., Ltd. in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, carried out a long study: why does it (grass) be thiner? Because it sprayed herbicide. Without herbicide, the grass is quite luxuriant. The bottom of it is covered by a grass.
: This is also the result of traditional ideas.
all kinds of tea used in the past require the tea garden to be clean and clean, and there should not be too many weeds. Spraying herbicides, which save labour and clean, have been used by growers. They felt that I had not killed insects and had no effect on the green leafhoppers. But that's not the case.
[interview] Huang Mingzhong, a tea maker in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province: insect repellent and herbicide, these two can reduce the number of that insect.
