Huiming Tea Development
Huiming tea became a commodity after the founding of New China. In 1958, Jingning County wanted to resume Huiming Tea and went to the villages to dig up tea trees and pick them up at Huiming Temple Village. Unfortunately, they did not survive. In 1965, Zhang Village commune sent people to the back hill of Huiming Temple to open more than three acres of tea gardens. They used tea seed to broadcast on demand. However, the old method still fought to produce nothing. In this year, Lei Shicai, the only secondary school student in Huiming Temple Village, and the commune cadres wrote a report requesting support for the production of Huiming tea. Unfortunately, the Cultural Revolution began in the second year and no response was received. In 1968, Lei Shicai was assigned to teach in Zhangcun. He took advantage of his spare time to risk and arranged information about Huiming tea. He had visited the original township of Hexitong in the town of Hexi for three times and persuaded Mr. Ye to show his family collection in Jingning County. Lei Shicai was able to extract historical records. Lei Shicai sent reports to the provincial authorities several times. By 1973, he finally got the attention of the provincial government. He instructed the Lishui Regional Committee of Science and Technology to include Huiming tea in key research topics, covering the soil, climate, and cultivation of tea-producing areas. Production and other projects are studied. That year, 30 acres of tea gardens were opened in Huishan Temple. In 1974, Tu Zhonggao, a tea technical secondary school graduate, was sent to Huiming Temple Village and Zhu Xuemiao to Head Village to provide full-time guidance on tea planting. Since then, Huiming Tea has embarked on a standardized production process.
In 1979, Huiming Tea was officially put into operation. At this time, the tea garden has grown to 283 acres. The book "Chinese Famous Tea" published that year, the evaluation of Huiming Tea was: "Tea bars are tight, with no color, green color, clear and clean soup, flag-shooting and blossoming, refreshing taste, sweet flavor It's all great."
