Mountains need not be high—choose fine tea if it’s fragrant.
2013-10-15
Fujian boasts two legendary mountains: to the north, the Wuyi Mountains, famous for their exquisite Da Hong Pao tea; and to the east, the Mount Taibai, renowned for its delicate white teas. It was once said that someone penned this elegant couplet: "Emerging from these two sacred realms, no mountain can compare; savoring three sips of fragrant tea, all praise follows in its wake." Here, the "two mountains" naturally refer to Fujian’s iconic peaks—Mount Taibai and the Wuyi Mountains—while the "three sips of fragrant tea" specifically highlight the premium white teas crafted by Pinpinxiang Tea Company. Throughout history, scholars and literary figures have always regarded tea tasting as a refined and elegant pursuit, making the quality of tea an especially cherished consideration. Thus, Pinpinxiang’s "Three Sips of Fragrant Tea," perfectly matched with the "two sacred mountains" in this poetic tribute, vividly captures the unparalleled allure of Fujian’s white teas—and clearly reveals just how deeply this author was captivated by their timeless charm!

In the 1970s, during a time of scarce medical resources and medicines, the author often watched his grandfather using tea water to clean and disinfect his own festering leg wounds as a child—wondering at the time, "Does this really work?" Later, he frequently observed many others employing tea infusions for their anti-inflammatory benefits. It turns out that in Fuding’s local folk tradition, white tea has long been passed down as an effective remedy for disinfection, inflammation relief, and even antibacterial purposes. According to the *Comprehensive Dictionary of Chinese Tea Industry*, tea leaves indeed possess germicidal properties: the polyphenol compounds found in tea can effectively kill a variety of bacteria harmful to human health—including Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and Clostridium botulinum.

Despite this year’s overall economic outlook being less than optimistic, major tea companies remain highly confident that the upcoming "Mid-Autumn Festival" will inject fresh vitality into the entire tea industry. "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a perfect occasion for family reunions, and it’s already become a tradition to bring tea, mooncakes, and other gift items when visiting relatives and friends," explains Jiang Guangfu from the marketing department of Bama Tea Industry. "Moreover, Chinese culture emphasizes mutual exchange of gifts, so there’s definitely ongoing demand for tea-based presents." As the peak sales season approaches, retailers are rolling out a variety of promotional strategies—such as offering discounts on advance orders of gift boxes—as well as enticing buy-one-get-one-free deals.

2013-08-28
West Lake Longjing Information Platform, August 26: Mid-Autumn Festival—same date, yet different mooncakes! As living standards continue to rise, consumers are increasingly gravitating toward healthier food options. Even the traditional Chinese mooncake, once an indispensable part of cultural celebrations, is undergoing a transformation. Moving away from the typical high-sugar, high-fat profile, modern mooncakes are now embracing a sleek, health-conscious, low-sugar trend. As a result, white tea-infused mooncakes—packaged with both nutritional benefits and gourmet appeal—are rapidly gaining popularity, capturing the enthusiastic attention of both consumers and retailers alike and enjoying strong market demand.
Though more than 20 days remain until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the author recently visited Tianfengyuan Tea Industry Co., Ltd.’s one-stop procurement center in Diandou Town and was already greeted by a dazzling array of beautifully packaged white tea mooncakes—each one a testament to this evolving culinary trend.

Introduction to GAP – Good Agricultural Practices Certification Basics
2013-08-27
Following the 2008 melamine-tainted milk powder scandal, the State Council issued the "Outline for the Rectification and Revitalization of the Dairy Industry," which clearly mandated that all dairy product manufacturers must implement the "Good Manufacturing Practices for Dairy Enterprises," commonly known as GMP, within a specified timeframe. By law, all companies were required to meet these standards within three years—or face mandatory production shutdowns and comprehensive rectifications if they failed to comply.
