On June 19, a delegation of more than 20 trainees from the training course on pollution-free tea production technology for developing countries—organized by China’s Ministry of Commerce—arrived in Diandou Town, Fuding City, braving light rain and traveling through dusty roads to visit and inspect local tea production and processing facilities, as well as to immerse themselves in Chinese tea culture.
It is understood that the participants in this training course on non-polluting tea production technologies for developing countries come from 14 nations, including Egypt, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Pakistan, South Africa, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, Mozambique, and Nepal—totaling 24 officials and scholars.
Accompanied by translators, the trainees enthusiastically visited and explored the Southeast White Tea enterprise located in Diandou Town, Fuding City. They gained a detailed understanding of the white tea production process, including standardized production methods for pollution-free tea, advanced processing techniques, and best practices for tea storage and preservation. The group attentively listened to technical experts explain these processes and even engaged in lively discussions with them along the way. In "China's No. 1 White Tea Village"—Bailiu Village—the trainees witnessed firsthand the time-honored craftsmanship of Mei Xiangjing, a national-level inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage project: the traditional handmade techniques used in Fuding white tea production. They observed each step of the ancient process—from withering and withering under shade, to natural wilting, pile fermentation, and finally charcoal-baking—demonstrating the meticulous artistry behind this revered craft. Afterward, the group headed to Fujian Tianfengyuan Tea Industry Co., Ltd., where they toured the company’s unique displays showcasing six-miao tea pillows and traditional charcoal-roasted teas. They enjoyed an engaging tea ceremony performance, savored delicious Fuding white tea, and exchanged insights into the development of pollution-free tea production, innovations in tea pillow manufacturing, and the rich tapestry of local tea culture.
Although the participants came from different countries and spoke various languages, their attentive observation, meticulous note-taking, and humble eagerness to learn clearly revealed their deep interest in Fuding white tea’s processing techniques, tea ceremony, and the culture surrounding this cherished beverage. Eagerly, they reached for their cameras, capturing one beautiful and unforgettable moment after another.
Diandou Town is a major tea-producing town in Fujian Province, currently boasting over 30,000 mu of high-quality tea gardens and an annual output of more than 21,000 tons of fresh tea leaves. With over 150 tea-processing enterprises, the tea industry has become a key driver for boosting agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' incomes in Diandou Town. Leveraging its advantageous position as the original home of Fuding Dabai tea, the town is actively expanding and strengthening its tea sector. Guided by the vision of developing a distinctive tea industry characterized by "large-scale bases, standardized cultivation, and clustered processing," Diandou is building a large-scale, high-tech, and premium-level tea processing and deep-processing park. The town is also attracting well-established, reputable tea-processing companies to elevate the technological sophistication and market competitiveness of its tea production and processing. Attendees noted that these initiatives hold significant potential for inspiring and informing tea production practices in their own countries.
Mr. Hamid Farooq Khayyam, Director of Pakistan's National Tea Research Institute, said, "China and Pakistan are neighbors, and I’m thrilled to be in China to closely study Chinese tea production and processing techniques as well as gain a deeper understanding of Chinese tea culture. I look forward to bringing back this invaluable knowledge and cultural insight, so that we can effectively apply and promote both China’s tea-making expertise and its rich tea traditions."
Afterward, the trainees also visited and inspected the Pinpinxiang enterprise and its organic tea demonstration base, and then headed to Taibao Mountain—part of the World Geopark—to see the ancient "Lüxueya," the original mother tree of the Da Bai tea, as well as to explore the breathtaking "Mountain and Sea Grand View" scenery of Taibao Mountain.
