我省种茶已有悠久的历史,据史籍记载,早在一千五百年以前已种植茶叶。解放以前,茶区广大劳动人民长期遭受“三座大山”的压迫和剥削,茶叶生产受到严重破坏,一九四九年全省只有茶园三十万亩,产茶十三万二千担。建国以来,在党的领导下,积极巩固提高老茶园,同时大力发展新茶园,茶叶生产得到迅速恢复和发展,产茶县由解放初的 Tea growing in our province has a long history. According to historical records, tea was planted as early as 1500 years ago. Before liberation, the working people in the tea area suffered from the oppression and exploitation of the “three big mountains” for a long time. The tea production was severely damaged. In 1949, there were only 300,000 mu of tea plantations and 132,000 tea-making units in the province. Since the founding of the People’s Republic, under the leadership of the party, the active consolidation and enhancement of old tea gardens and the vigorous development of new tea gardens have resulted in the rapid recovery and development of tea production.
