(ECNS) -- The 10th Fuding White Tea Festival opened on Sunday in "the hometown of white tea in China."
In March, a big data traceability platform system for Fuding White Tea was officially launched.
The whole process from tea leaf picking to tea trading is incorporated into the platform system.
Tea enterprises apply for anti-counterfeiting labels based on the total amount of tea purchased, and then label the tea, which allows the production of tea to be traceable.
In other words, each box of tea has an ID card.
In addition to the big data traceability platform, Fuding has been promoting the construction of ecological tea gardens.
In 2020, the total output of tea leaves from plantations in Fuding City was 32,400 tons,of which 25,300 tons were white tea.
The total output value of the tea industry reached 11.953 billion yuan (1.82 billion dollars).
Fuding White Tea became tribute tea in the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127), with the saying "one-year tea, three-year medicine and seven-year treasure."
It is also famous at home and abroad for its medicinal effects.
