"We have customized Liubao tea with smoky flavor for Malaysian customers. At the same time, according to the traditional production process, we have developed Liubao tea processing production lines, and the products are in short supply." Tan Aiyun, a non heritage inheritor of Guangxi Liubao tea production technology, told reporters recently. Guangxi Liubao tea is a famous overseas Chinese tea in China, with a development history of 1500 years. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Chinese workers went to Nanyang to make a living. Due to the humid and muggy local climate, many Chinese workers were unwell. The Liubao tea they took with them could relieve the heat and damp, moisten the intestines and nourish the stomach. After drinking, the symptoms of physical discomfort disappeared. Therefore, Liubao tea was named "life-saving tea". Deeply loved by Chinese workers, Liubao tea once became a famous overseas Chinese selling tea in China, and created the prosperity of the "ancient tea boat road". (the picture shows tea farmers frying Liubao tea with mechanical equipment) Liubao Town, Cangwu County, Wuzhou City, where Tan Aiyun is located, is the birthplace of Liubao tea and the starting point of the "ancient tea boat road". The Hekou Wharf in the town still tells the story of the rise and fall of the "ancient tea boat road". Ma Shicheng, deputy secretary of the CPC Cangwu county Party committee, told reporters that during the prosperous period of Liubao tea trade in history, tea merchants lined up here to ship boxes of tea, transfer them to Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and then sell them to Southeast Asia. However, due to the gradual decline of waterway transportation and the low purchase price of tea, Liubao ancient town, which was prospered by water, once lost its former glory. Since the 1950s, tea factories have closed down and tea mountains have become deserted. Now, with the China ASEAN Expo settled in Guangxi and successfully held for 18 consecutive sessions, the economic and trade cooperation between Guangxi and ASEAN countries is becoming closer and closer. Liubao tea goes to Nanyang to attract businessmen from ASEAN countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Liang Weilong, deputy director of Wuzhou tea industry development center, introduced that since 2017, Wuzhou has continued to carry out the global marketing activity of Wuzhou Liubao tea "ancient tea boat road · New Silk Road", covering Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries. At the same time, Wuzhou has cooperated with ASEAN countries to jointly formulate international and regional standards for Liubao tea. Wuzhou customs strives to set up a black tea tax number for Liubao tea, solve the problem that there is no special tax number for export declaration and inspection, and improve the international influence of the brand. In order to better promote the standardized development of Liubao tea industry and ensure the food safety of Liubao tea, Wuzhou market supervision department applied for the registration of the geographical indication certificate of "Wuzhou Liubao tea" and the trademark of "ancient tea boat road", prepared the Guangxi local standard of Liubao tea, and realized the standardized production from the aspects of tea seedling raising, cultivation management, tea picking, Liubao tea processing, packaging, storage and transportation. "Liubao tea is famous for its' red, strong, old and mellow 'taste. Nowadays, it is increasingly loved by overseas Chinese, and its sales are gradually increasing in the markets of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and other countries," Liang Weilong said. According to statistics, in 2020, the annual output of Wuzhou Liubao tea will reach about 20000 tons, and the public brand value of Liubao tea will be 3.234 billion yuan. Wuzhou Customs said that from January to September 2021, Wuzhou Liubao tea exported a total of 6.786 million yuan, an increase of 24% over the same period last year. "We have good ecology, high altitude, and unique Liubao tea making skills. The tea produced tastes mellow. Now the transportation is convenient. Many ASEAN merchants come to purchase in admiration. I can directly deliver the goods to their door through e-commerce," Tan Aiyun said. Optimistic about the good opportunity for the development of Liubao tea, Tan Aiyun led 56 villagers to establish cooperatives and plant more than 1500 mu of tea gardens. In order to overcome the labor shortage and improve the output and quality of tea, with the help of the local agricultural machinery department, she purchased and used new picking machines, screening machines and other machinery, improved the mechanization application level in tea picking, tea garden management and protection, production and processing, and built a whole process mechanization innovation demonstration base for the production of traditional Liubao tea. "Farmers' tea industry, how much we receive." Tan Aiyun told reporters that the production method of Liubao tea has developed from traditional manual tea production to mechanized production. Three workers can fry 10000 kg of crude tea every day, which has greatly improved the market competitiveness. Yi Dantao, a young migrant worker, also returned to his hometown. He took over the old tea garden that had been operating for more than a century from his parents and served as the chairman of Baji Tea Industry Co., Ltd. in Liubao Town, Cangwu county. Yi Dantao said that in recent years, the market of Liubao tea has been very good, and the purchase price of fresh tea has increased from less than 5 yuan per kilogram to nearly 20 yuan per kilogram. At present, the company has expanded the planting scale of tea garden to 350 Mu and hired more than 60 villagers to manage and protect it. Similar to yidantao, more and more young people have returned to Liubao town to start businesses and work. Dozens of tea houses have opened one after another. The "ancient tea boat road" is regaining its vitality, and the lively scene of the past appears again. According to Wuzhou Market Supervision Bureau, in order to better explore the overseas market, Wuzhou Liubao tea processing and export enterprises also set up product display windows in Hong Kong, applied for high-quality "positive" India certification in Hong Kong, broke through the technical trade barriers of relevant countries and regions, and sold Liubao tea to Europe, India and other places. How to make more young people love Liubao tea? Wuzhou people develop new products such as Liubao instant tea, jasmine Liubao, xiaoqinggan and so on. At the same time, combine Liubao tea with food processing, develop Liubao tea wine, Liubao tea Lai and Liubao tea ice cream, and create "net red food". Today's Liubao tea is setting sail again along the "ancient tea boat road" to continue a new chapter of the maritime Silk Road in Guangxi. ' Next, we will launch the "100000 mu tea plantation battle" of Liubao tea, make full use of the advantages of the birthplace of Liubao tea, and build a Rural Revitalization demonstration belt of "ancient tea boat road · Baili Tea Gallery" centered on Liubao town. Promote Liubao tea to go to sea again along the "ancient tea boat road" and accelerate the development of the Southeast Asian market. "Ma Shicheng said. (outlook new era)
