Sep Tue 2023
On September 3, the second Vocational Skills Competition was held in Xiangxi Tea Expo Park, Majin’ao Town, Jishou City, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, with nearly 50 contestants competing.


 
At the site, participants showed their solid basic skills in the whole process of tea making, including spreading, water removing, shaping, drying and cooling. During the stir-frying process, the green and tender tea leaves gradually turned bluish yellow, and slowly rolled and shrank.

Xiangxi Golden Tea is a rare ancient local tea variety that grows in the intersected area with selenium-rich soil, fermented microbes and linolenic acid-containing plant community. It has an excellent quality.


 
In recent years, the scale of tea cultivation in Jishou City has been gradually expanded, with a tea plantation area of 155,000 mu (about 10,333.33 hectares). The output of dry tea reached 1,680 tons last year, achieving a comprehensive output value of more than 1.2 billion yuan. The tea industry has become a pillar industry for rural revitalization.
