据了解，近年来，在芦田镇党委、政府的正确领导下，梅占茶在乡村振兴中发挥了越来越大的带动作用。高水练考察后认为，该处梅占茶老树管理科学，土层深厚，有机质含量高，茶树健壮，新梢叶大翠绿，虽有上百年历史，依然生机勃勃。林少斌赞扬了梅占在芦田茶叶生产中的重要地位，其中梅占百年老树产量高、品质优异、芽叶肥壮，茶叶香气浓郁高扬，滋味浓厚、回甘好、泡水长，深受广大消费者喜爱，每逢开采季总有各路茶商三洋抢购梅占制成的乌龙茶和红茶，成为茶农们重要的经济支柱。

纵使梅占老茶树高约3米，并且茶园梯田不平整，但是茶农们凭借着顽强的毅力和高超的技巧，借助梯子、长凳等工具在茶丛中熟练地手工开采。百年老茶树的保护性开采既是对茶树悠久历史的传承，也符合茶农们的长久利益，相信在科学理论的指导下，百年茶树的茶香会更加浓郁、悠久。

据悉，三洋村位于安溪县西北部，距芦田镇10公里，海拔803米，高山盆地，四面环山，形如鼎，云雾缭绕，气候凉爽，适宜种植各种茶树，是国家级茶树良种梅占茶的发源地。该保护园占地350亩，其中包含百年以上梅占茶树50余亩，具有香气浓郁高扬，滋味浓重的特性，不仅适制乌龙茶，制作的红茶、白茶品质特征亦十分突出。春为一岁首，梅占百花魁，相信随着更多的梅占老茶树焕发新生机，将有越来越多的茶人喜爱梅占、青睐梅占。

On April 29, the 100-year-old Meizhan tea tree in Sanyang Village, Lutian Town, Anxi County, Quanzhou City, the birthplace of the first batch of national-level tea tree varieties, was officially mined. Lin Shaobin, Mayor of Lutian Town People's Government, Yu Haixiong, Deputy Mayor, Gao Shuilian, Director of the Department of Tea Studies, Anxi Tea College, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Chief Expert of Sanyo Meizhan Expert Workstation in Quanzhou City, Yang Fuding, Chairman of Fujian Anxi Sanyo Meishanyan Tea Professional Cooperative, and some others Tea farmers participate in the mining ceremony.

It is understood that in recent years, under the correct leadership of the Lutian Town Party Committee and government, Mei Zhancha has played an increasingly leading role in rural revitalization. After the inspection, Gao Shuilian believed that the old Meizhan tea trees here are scientifically managed, with deep soil layers, high organic matter content, robust tea trees, and large green leaves. Lin Shaobin praised Meizhan's important position in the production of Lutian tea. Among them, Meizhan's century-old trees have high yield, excellent quality, and strong buds and leaves. During the mining season, Sanyo from all over the world buys oolong tea and black tea made by Meizhan, which has become an important economic pillar for tea farmers.

Even though the Meizhan old tea tree is about 3 meters high and the terraced fields of the tea garden are uneven, the tea farmers, with their tenacious perseverance and superb skills, skillfully mine the tea bushes by hand with the help of ladders, benches and other tools. The protective mining of century-old tea trees not only inherits the long history of tea trees, but also conforms to the long-term interests of tea farmers.

It is reported that Sanyang Village is located in the northwest of Anxi County, 10 kilometers away from Lutian Town, 803 meters above sea level. The birthplace of tea. The protection garden covers an area of 350 mu, including more than 50 mu of Meizhan tea trees with more than 100 years of history. It has the characteristics of strong aroma and strong taste. It is not only suitable for making oolong tea, but also the quality characteristics of black tea and white tea. Spring is the beginning of the year, and Meizhan is a hundred florists. I believe that as more and more old Meizhan tea trees rejuvenate, there will be more and more tea people who love Meizhan and favor Meizhan.
