安溪铁观音春茶毛茶均价预计比去年增长8%

目前，黄金桂，本山，金观音等早芽种已经采制结束，铁观音进入采制高峰期。县农业农村局相关负责人表示，预计2022年铁观音春茶产量约在2.4万吨左右（春茶产量占全年的40%）。春茶毛茶均价约65元一斤，比去年同期增长8%。

安溪铁观音采制期提前

按照节气，每年谷雨过后，是安溪铁观音茶叶采制的最高峰。今年却比往年提前了几天。据感德品苑负责人吴堃东介绍，今年铁观音茶芽比往年长势较快，4月26日起，全县就开始大面积开采铁观音。

“我们合作社的茶叶大概在5月8日前就能全部采完。”祥华乡一合作社负责人詹宝福说，5月1日、2日两天因为下雨，没有采摘，3日和4日天气转好，铁观音大量采摘，这两三天铁观音的品质也很好。“通常情况下，安溪铁观音茶芽在夏至之后就会变得粗老，就不能采摘了。”安溪铁观音制茶大师刘金龙说。

县农业农村局有关负责人介绍说，经向收购大户、县级以上示范农场、合作社，龙头茶企了解，截至5月3日，黄金桂、本山、金观音等早芽种已经采制结束，铁观音进入采制高峰期，春茶生产进度约完成总量60%。

春茶的价格怎么样呢？吴堃东和詹宝福告诉记者，今年春茶的铁观音价格与去年总体持平，“毛茶一斤价格在五六十元、七八十元的比较多，好的单价一百多元，甚至两三百元。”而来自县农业农村局的数据显示，今年春茶毛茶均价约65元一斤，比去年同期增长8%。而基地茶（指通过龙头企业+合作社+基地+茶农的产业化组织形式，建立起来的自有基地、协议基地，所生产的茶叶）均价120元左右，比去年同期增长11%，占总量20%。

小品种间期采制增效益

安溪茶文化源远流长，除了“铁观音”被大家所熟知外，还有梅占、毛蟹、本山等六款全国农作物品种审定委员会认定的国家茶树良种，以及金观音等新研发的优良品种，近年来也绽放出别样的光彩。

近日，记者来到芦田镇三洋村大银峯茶叶专业合作社。合作社负责人杨淑真正带领社员们在银瓶山上采摘梅占茶青，他们中包括留守的老人、孩子。杨淑真介绍说，她长期在江苏、上海、浙江等沿海城市经营老家的梅占茶，前几年她回到老家创建三洋大银峯茶叶专业合作社。合作社有55户社员，都是当地农户，社员们入股合作社，并根据合作社的要求实行六个统一管理模式，打造茶园基地生态环境。

当地村民称梅占茶青为“百变茶青”，可塑性强，之前杨淑真充分挖掘梅占茶的品质特征，创新制作工艺，通过反复尝试，摸索研制出梅占乌龙茶、梅占红茶、岩茶等茶品。杨淑真将之发布到微信朋友圈，马上收获满满的订单。

有的茶人则是在同一个基地里套种多种茶类。在龙涓乡举源茶叶专业合作社，记者了解到，基地里面，既种植了铁观音，也种植了金观音、梅占等茶。

“这么大的基地，需要有一个比较合理的采摘周期，所以不能只种铁观音一种茶。”基地负责人说，金观音是黄金桂跟铁观音杂交后的新品种，具有黄金桂早芽种的特征，一般4月上旬就已驻芽了，中旬就已采摘。金观音采摘完后采摘梅占，梅占属于中芽种。梅占采完再采铁观音，安溪铁观音大概比金观音的采摘晚了20天。几种茶叶产生的经济效益都很好。

At present, the production of early buds such as Huangjingui, Benshan and Jinguanyin has been completed, and Tieguanyin has entered the peak period of production. The relevant person in charge of the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau said that the production of spring tea in 2022 is expected to be about 24,000 tons (spring tea production accounts for 40% of the whole year). The average price of spring tea hair tea is about 65 yuan per catty, an increase of 8% over the same period last year.

Anxi Tieguanyin's harvesting period is ahead of schedule

According to the solar term, every year after the Grain Rain, it is the peak of Anxi Tieguanyin tea production. This year is a few days earlier than usual. According to Wu Kundong, the person in charge of Gande Pinyuan, this year Tieguanyin tea buds are growing faster than in previous years. Since April 26, the whole county has begun to mine Tieguanyin on a large scale.

"Our cooperative will be able to pick all the tea before May 8." Zhan Baofu, head of a cooperative in Xianghua Township, said that the tea was not picked due to rain on May 1 and 2, and the weather on the 3rd and 4th Turning for the better, Tieguanyin has been picked in large quantities, and the quality of Tieguanyin in the past two or three days is also very good. "Usually, Anxi Tieguanyin tea buds will become rough and old after the summer solstice and cannot be picked," said Liu Jinlong, an Anxi Tieguanyin tea master.

The relevant person in charge of the County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau said that, as of May 3, the harvesting and production of early buds such as Huangjingui, Benshan, Jinguanyin and other early buds have been completed. Guanyin has entered the peak period of picking and production, and the production progress of spring tea is about 60% of the total.

What is the price of spring tea? Wu Kundong and Zhan Baofu told reporters that the price of this year's spring tea was generally the same as last year. "The price of a pound of Mao tea is more than 50 to 60 yuan, 70 to 80 yuan, and a good unit price is more than 100 yuan, or even 200 to 300 yuan." Data from the County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau shows that the average price of this spring tea is about 65 yuan per catty, an increase of 8% over the same period last year. The average price of base tea (referring to the self-owned bases and agreement bases established through the industrial organization form of leading enterprises + cooperatives + bases + tea farmers, and the production of tea) is about 120 yuan, an increase of 11% over the same period last year, accounting for the total amount 20%.

Interim harvesting and production of small varieties to increase efficiency

Anxi tea culture has a long history. In addition to the well-known "Tieguanyin", there are also six national tea tree varieties recognized by the National Crop Variety Approval Committee, including Meizhan, Maoxian, and Benshan, as well as newly developed excellent varieties such as Jinguanyin. It also shines in a different light.

Recently, the reporter came to Dayinfeng Tea Professional Cooperative in Sanyang Village, Lutian Town. Yang Shuzhen, the head of the cooperative, led the members to pick Meizhan tea on Yinping Mountain, including the left-behind elderly and children. Yang Shuzhen said that she has been operating Meizhan Tea in her hometown for a long time in coastal cities such as Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, etc. A few years ago, she returned to her hometown to establish Sanyo Dayinfeng Tea Professional Cooperative. The cooperative has 55 members, all of which are local farmers. The members have invested in the cooperative, and implemented six unified management modes according to the requirements of the cooperative to create an ecological environment for the tea garden base.

Local villagers call Meizhan tea green "Variety tea green", which has strong plasticity. Before, Yang Shuzhen fully explored the quality characteristics of Meizhan tea, innovated the production process, and through repeated attempts, explored and developed Meizhan oolong tea, Meizhan black tea, and rock tea. Wait for tea. Yang Shuzhen posted it to WeChat Moments, and immediately received a lot of orders.

Some tea people are interplanting a variety of teas in the same base. In the Juyuan Tea Professional Cooperative in Longjuan Township, the reporter learned that in the base, both Tieguanyin, Jinguanyin, Meizhan and other teas are planted.

"Such a large base requires a relatively reasonable picking cycle, so it is not possible to grow only one type of Tieguanyin tea." The person in charge of the base said that Jinguanyin is a new variety after the hybridization of Huangjingui and Tieguanyin, and has the early bud of Jinguanyin. The characteristics of the species are generally that the buds have been stationed in the first ten days of April and have been picked in the middle of the year. After the golden Guanyin is picked, Meizhan is picked, and Meizhan belongs to the middle bud species. Mei Zhan picks Tieguanyin after picking, which is about 20 days later than Jin Guanyin. The economic benefits of several types of tea are very good.
