Huangdu's green development has made the locals more aware of environment protection and energy conservation when processing and frying the leaves. They know that green mountains and pure water produce nice tea.
To promote his business, Jia standardized the production of white tea, applied for the food production license, redesigned the packaging and established his own brand. He also started online sales with customized tea products for clients.
More than 1,500 kg of white tea were sold in the first year since Jia took on the family business, a fivefold increase compared with the original sales.
The small tea leaves not only brought fortune to the locals in Anji but also played a big role in supporting poor areas of Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other provinces in central and western China. Since 2018, Huangdu has donated 19 million fine white tea seedlings to those poor villages and sent experts to offer planting guidance.
"Three years ago, the mountains here were barren," said Tian Hongjun, a white tea planter in Dazhai Village, southwest China's Guizhou Province, who learned about the donation and started tea plantation in 2018.
The poor Dazhai villagers have become tea farmers and the mountainous village has turned into a scenic spot. The tea gardens in Dazhai currently cover 40 hectares.
The idea of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has freed people from the clutches of conventional thinking of a trade-off between development and ecological protection, said Gu Yikang, chief expert with the Zhejiang rural vitalization research institute.
