Jiulong Tea

Jiulong Tea

　　 The Jiulong Tea Farm in Hengnan County was established in 1972. It currently has 1,500 acres of effective tea plantation, 100 acres of jasmine cultivation, and one small-type reservoir covering 20 acres. Additionally, there are 1,200 acres of surrounding land available for development. The farm now offers 8 product series including green tea and scented tea, producing 2,000 dan of dried tea annually, along with 1,000 dan of jasmine flowers. Its nationally trademarked brands “Gaoluan” and “Zhuge Peak” are sold across more than 20 provinces and cities in China. First is its unique geographical advantage. The Jiulong Tea Farm is located in the southeastern corner of Hengnan County, Hunan Province, where rolling hills and surrounding mountains create lush, emerald-green peaks. With a typical mid-subtropical monsoon climate featuring moderate and gentle sunlight, acidic red-yellow soil suitable for both tea garden development and tea growth, and its location far from factories and urban areas — free from industrial emissions — the harvested tea leaves are known for their high quality, rich flavor, excellent endurance for brewing, and absence of harmful substances. Second is convenient transportation. Roads within the farm and between the various hills have been developed, enabling easy vehicle access for material transport and tea picking. Transportation to and from other regions is also highly accessible. The Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway runs alongside the Jiulong Tea Farm, with an exit just three kilometers from the farm headquarters. Hengyang Xinshi Airport is only six kilometers away. Third is comprehensive infrastructure. The Jiulong Tea Farm covers nearly 15,000 square meters with over 4,500 square meters of built-up area. It currently has three workshops, including a scenting workshop and a primary processing workshop, equipped with complete machinery for both primary and refined tea processing. Fixed assets have reached two million yuan. Water and electricity facilities are fully equipped. The farm includes a small-type reservoir spanning over 20 acres, and the eastern branch canal of the Ouyanghai Irrigation System runs through the property, ensuring interconnected drainage throughout the site.
