Tianba Organic Tea

Tianba Organic Tea

　　Tianba Village in Yong’an Town, Fenggang County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, is located in the northwest of the county, at an altitude of about 930 meters. With mild winters and cool summers, abundant rainfall, and rich heat, its predominantly mountainous and hilly terrain is ideal for tea cultivation. Notably, the soil in Tianba contains trace amounts of zinc and selenium, which contribute to the unique quality of Fenggang’s tea. In 2005, 2,847 acres of organic tea in Fenggang County were certified, and in 2007, the area was approved as a national ecological demonstration zone by the State Environmental Protection Administration. Today, Tianba Village is one of the hundred pilot villages for new rural construction in Guizhou Province and a national AAA-level agricultural tourism demonstration area.

　　Covering a total area of 60 square kilometers, Tianba Village is far from urban areas and has no industrial or mining enterprises within its borders. With a forest coverage rate of 80%, tea plantations are interspersed with woodland, and the air, water, and soil are free from pollution. The village’s tea gardens are located in the core area of the Western Tea Sea, spanning a total of 25,000 acres, making it one of the villages with the largest tea plantation area in Guizhou Province. The zinc-selenium tea brand enjoys fame both within and beyond the province, earning the title “Hometown of China’s Zinc-Selenium Rich Organic Tea.” Tianba Village has established the first 10,000-acre tea base village in Fenggang County and the largest organic tea production base in Southwest China.

　　At the same time, taking the 10,000-acre ecological tea area as its foundation, centered around Xianrenling’s activities of “worshiping the Tea God, paying homage to the Tea Sage, and reciting the Classic of Tea,” and focusing on promoting the ancient Yizhou ethnic and folk tea culture, Tianba Village aims to offer premium tea tasting, oil tea drinking, tea songs, tea meals, eco-tea area tours, and to boost the tea industry and economy. It is being developed into the most culturally rich Western Tea Sea Forest Park in China and recognized as the premier village of the Western Tea Sea.
