Pangu Tea Plantation

　　The Pangu Ecological Tea Factory is situated in Changlong Village, Pangu Mountain Town, in the southern part of Yudu County. It lies in the mountains where Yudu, Anyuan, and Huichang counties meet, over 1,000 meters above sea level. Surrounded by overlapping peaks, dense forests, and lush greenery with a forest coverage rate of 65%, the area enjoys 80% relative humidity, frequent clouds and mist, and an elegant environment. The mountain soil is fertile, with organic content of around 2%, offering ideal natural conditions for tourism.

　　The tea factory has 7,000 acres of pollution-free organic tea gardens, which have expanded to 10,000 acres in the past two years. The tea gardens are vibrant and lush. On the rolling hills, rows of tea bushes are neatly arranged, while tall, leafy shade trees and fruit trees divide the gardens into many well-organized, picturesque blocks. Supporting projects such as chestnut orchards, Japanese sweet persimmon orchards, plum orchards, bamboo groves, hybrid bamboo plantations, and fir tree gardens add to the charm of the entire plantation. There is also a newly built small guesthouse that can accommodate 18 tourists for lodging and meals daily.

　　The tea factory boasts high technological standards and a wide range of branded products. Its teas were listed as imperial tribute from the early Yuan Dynasty to the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty. “Pangu Banhao” was recognized as a provincial high-quality famous tea by the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture in 1994. “Pangu Longzhu” won a gold award at the Second China Agricultural Expo in 1995 and took first place at the First International Agricultural Expo in Qingdao, China, in 1996. In 2002, among 2,631 tea samples at the China “Fine Famous Teas” Expo, it scored 98.62 points, ranking second nationwide. From 1995 to 2003, Pangu Tea Factory was repeatedly awarded titles such as “Youth Civilization Unit,” “Advanced Private Enterprise,” and “Well-Known Trademark” by the Communist Youth League Central Committee, national and provincial Administration for Market Regulation, China Association of Individual Businesses, and local city and county authorities as an advanced star enterprise. Factory Director Huang Qingbo was elected as a provincial People’s Congress deputy, a provincial and municipal model worker, and in August 2002, he became the first executive director of the Ganzhou Tea Culture Research Association.
