is affected by the drought in the whole province. The "sunshine green tea" and "Laoshan tea" originating from Shandong are faced with the reduction of production, and the spring tea is picked at the low temperature. The time will be postponed for at least 10 days. Tea factory estimates that the first batch of Rizhao Green tea will reduce its production by about 50%. Wholesalers say that the price of tea produced in Shandong is generally rising this year.
"this year's drought, sunshine green tea is definitely cut down, and the price is not cheap." Yesterday morning, the reporter came to Zhangdian's Shan Quan Road tea wholesale market to inquire about the situation of Rizhao Green Tea. A wholesaler made the above prediction. During the interview, a number of wholesalers selling Rizhao Green Tea said that the price of Rizhao Green tea this year may be higher than in previous years. According to the introduction, compared with some provinces in southern China, the tea production in Shandong is low, but the "sunshine green tea" and "Laoshan tea" produced from Shandong have been very popular in the tea market. This year, these two kinds of tea may be cut down due to the disaster.
yesterday afternoon, the reporter interviewed sun sunshine San Gu Shan tea field on the disaster of sunshine green tea. Its staff said that sunshine green tea was generally listed in early or mid April. Because of the cold weather in spring this year, the green tea is expected to be postponed for at least 10 days this year. "From 2008 to this year, 4 years have been affected by the cold weather for 3 years, basically after May 1st, and this year should be almost the same." The staff said that compared with the impact of low-temperature weather, the drought in the province wide impact on Rizhao Green Tea.
"water should be poured once in the spring, but there is not enough water in the reservoirs and ponds. Many of the tea leaves have not been poured yet." The staff told reporters that most of the green tea trees are irrigated with surface water because of the high cost of groundwater and can not be used directly for irrigation, which leads to the shortage of water in large tea gardens. It is reported that the direct consequence of insufficient watering of tea plantations is that the budding rate is reduced, resulting in the reduction of tea production. "The first date of the first buds was reduced by 50%. But you know, the first shoots are the best tea ingredients. " The staff said that the first batch of spring tea is used to produce the first batch of spring tea. Although the proportion of the total output is very small in the annual total production, the income of spring tea often accounts for more than 60% of the total annual tea income due to its good quality and high price. The impact of drought on tea farmers and tea farms is evident.
production and price increases have been set. For tea producers and wholesalers, they will not be able to estimate how much they will reduce or how much the price will go up. Also affected by drought, Laoshan tea from Laoshan Mountain also faces the same fate. But the output of Laoshan itself is very low, and the high-end route is taking place, so it has little impact on the market and the general public.
