Linshu Green Tea

Linshu Green Tea

　　The state has designated southeastern Shandong as part of the northern China tea-growing region, and Shandong Province has listed Linyi City as a key tea production base. Linshu County is one of the county’s key tea-producing areas. In the agricultural industry layout of the county, towns in the eastern part such as Yushan, Daxing, Zhucang, Linshu, and Qingyun feature tea production as one of their distinctive agricultural highlights.

　　Linshu Green Tea has long been known for its characteristics such as “thick leaves, high aroma, rich taste, and good endurance for brewing.” It is not only favored by local residents but also has become a popular gift item, selling well beyond the county. Leading tea factories have implemented brand strategies and actively participated in various national, provincial, and municipal tea evaluation competitions, winning a total of 45 awards during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. Products such as “Chunshan Snow Sprout,” “Chunshan Snow Sword,” and “Cangma Mountain Emerald Tip” produced by Chunshan Tea Farm were rated as “Famous Teas of Shandong” by the Provincial Department of Agriculture. “Guanshan Longwu” has obtained China Green Food Certification. In 2002, “Chunshan Snow Sprout” won a “Silver Award” at the 4th International Famous Tea Evaluation Competition. In 2002, Yushan Town was listed by the Linyi Municipal Government as a “Demonstration Town for Pollution-Free and Standardized Tea Production,” and received a second prize in the year-end inspection. In 2003, the project “Research and Experiment on the Mechanized Processing Technology of Steamed High-Quality Green Tea,” undertaken by the County Fruit and Tea Office, won the second prize for scientific and technological progress at the county level.
