April 11, West Lake Longjing Information Platform: Bailiu Village in Fuding City is known as China's No. 1 White Tea Village. Every household in the village owns tea gardens, with some cultivating as little as a few mu and others managing as many as dozens of mu. Following the establishment of the Bailiu White Tea Professional Cooperative in December 2006, scattered tea farmers were united into a strong collective. For years, the cooperative has faithfully upheld the traditional craftsmanship of Fuding white tea production, fostering a sustainable economic model characterized by a "cooperative + enterprise + base + farmer" structure—a small-scale yet market-oriented system that creates a positive cycle of growth.
"Thanks to this setup, farmers no longer need to travel elsewhere to sell their tea; they can easily handle sales right here in the village, often at prices comparable to those outside," says one local resident, highlighting the convenience and efficiency of the new system.

The author learned from the Fuding City Tea Bureau that, as of March 31, Fuding City had produced 24,000 dan of dry tea in the first quarter— an increase of 9,000 dan, or 60%, compared to the same period last year.

As a result, the tea-picking season in Fuding City began earlier than usual—about 10 days ahead of last year.
This year, the fresh spring tea leaves not only boasted excellent quality but also saw higher prices, presenting an encouraging outlook for the industry. Specifically, the price of tea leaves (one bud with one to three tender leaves just unfurling) from Fuding Dahuang tea varieties across various townships has risen to between 7 and 3 yuan per jin.
