After the beginning of summer, with the gradual rise of temperature, tea grows rapidly, and tea gardens around Sinan County have entered the bulk tea picking season.

In the tea base of Hongqi Village, Fengyun Township, the county, the green tea garden fluctuates with the mountains. The tea pickers use their dexterous hands to pick pieces of green tea into the bamboo basket. Zhang Yufeng, a villager, has mastered the skills of tea picking through continuous learning. Now she works in the tea processing plant at the foot of the mountain and has a fixed income every month.

Zhang Yufeng said, "Our annual income comes from the tea garden. Working here is especially good for us. It is close to home and we can take care of children and the elderly."

In recent years, Fengyun Township, relying on a good ecological environment, has vigorously developed the tea industry, and has continuously promoted the sustainable and healthy development of the tea industry by focusing on the standardized construction of tea gardens and the creation of ecological organic brands. The local government also introduced Guizhou Sifu Industrial Co., Ltd. to carry out intensive processing of tea, promote the standardization, marketization and branding of the tea industry, and improve the comprehensive production capacity of the tea industry.

Zou Shuiying, the general manager of Sifu Industry Co., Ltd., said, "We came to Sinan in 2015 and were very satisfied with the ecology and soil of the whole tea planting in Sinan. We planted nearly 3000 mu of tea garden. From the management and protection of the tea garden to the rough processing to the refined processing, all of them were carried out according to the standards of exported tea. Each batch of exported tea was clean and assured."

The production of clean tea and the promotion of tea sales and brand effect are not only conducive to the firm foothold of enterprises in the market, but also play an important role in industrial development. By adopting the "company+cooperative+farmer" model, Sifu Industrial Co., Ltd. is responsible for the management of tea gardens, the purchase of tea and the sale of products, and drives the cooperatives to participate in the industrial development. The company is an excellent manufacturer of Guizhou tea export, and also a supplier of high-quality tea in Guizhou. It is also an excellent manufacturer of Guizhou black tea, green tea.

Xiong Jiawu, the first secretary of Hongqi Village in Fengyun Township, said: "The collective farmers' professional cooperative in Hongqi Village has 500 mu of tea garden, which is mainly used for export. Through cooperation with Sifu Group and under the guidance of their professional technology, it carries out artificial weeding and special fertilizer for tea, so as to protect the quality of tea from the source and provide high-quality tea source guarantee for the export of large quantities of tea."

Today, Sifu Industrial Co., Ltd. has established tea gardens in Liangshuijing, Fengyun, Zhangjiazhai and other towns, and its products are mainly sold to Hong Kong and Macao, Vietnam, Malaysia and other places. In 2021, the company completed export trade orders of 12 million US dollars, and the enterprise processed 550 tons of tea annually.

In recent years, Sinan County has insisted on taking the ecological tea industry as one of the important characteristic industries, and integrated various forces to create the public brand of "Sinan Yan Tea". A small piece of tea has developed into a characteristic industry, a green industry, an industry that enriches the people, and an advantageous industry that helps the rural revitalization of Sinan County.
