In April, in the tea garden of Wujiang Siyu Company in Bailongqiao Town, Wucheng District, Jinhua, tea pickers were busy picking spring tea leaves.

“This year, the output of fresh spring tea has dropped sharply due to various reasons; the output is 30% lower than that of previous years, increasing the price of fresh spring tea leaves. But even with higher prices, the demand for spring tea is higher than the current supply in the market,” said Zhao Jianping, director of the company.
