　　"High-mountain mist organic tea, a selenium treasure – Shuicheng Chun."

　　Tea is one of the top ten key agricultural industries being developed in Shuicheng. Shuicheng is a low-latitude, high-altitude region with a subtropical plateau monsoon climate that provides abundant heat, plentiful rainfall, and ample sunlight—ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The area is mostly mountainous with frequent fog at higher elevations, and the abundant diffused light promotes the accumulation of effective components such as amino acids and caffeine, giving the tea a distinctive aroma and flavor. Additionally, the high air humidity in Shuicheng slows the conversion of sugars to cellulose during photosynthesis, effectively enhancing the tenderness and color of the tea leaves.

　　Most importantly, Shuicheng is one of China’s three major selenium-rich belts (alongside Enshi and Ziyang), with soils rich in organic selenium. As a result, tea produced here is high in organic selenium. Authoritative tests have shown that the organic selenium content in Shuicheng tea falls within the optimal range for human health. Due to early harvesting, superior quality, and high organic selenium content, drinking Shuicheng selenium-rich tea regularly can invigorate the mind, provide antioxidant benefits, and help delay aging. Shuicheng Chun brand tea has won multiple awards and enjoys widespread acclaim.

　　Currently, Shuicheng County has 30,000 mu of tea plantations. Over the next five years, the plan is to add more than 20,000 mu annually, aiming to establish over 130,000 mu of high-yield, high-quality tea plantations by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan period.
