With the warmth of spring comes the best season for the production of new tea in North China. In the Zhucheng Green Tea production area of Shandong province, high-tech products in the tea fields are particularly eye-catching.
"We have achieved digitized (数字化的) management in various aspects such as planting, irrigation, fertilization and harvesting. It enables our tea fields to have intelligent management," said Wang Zerong, head of a tea field in Zhucheng.
From relying on weather to grow tea to depending on digital tools, a safe and reliable power supply is an important factor. To ensure the large-scale production and sale of spring tea in the local area, starting from March, State Grid Zhucheng Power Supply Company organized a spring tea service team to enter the fields and conduct inspections (检查). During the inspection, any potential (潜在的) dangers are eliminated as soon as they are found. This year, 12 potential dangers in total have been discovered and dealt with since March.
In the fried tea workshop of Zhucheng Yiming Tea, more than 10 types of machines such as tea dryers and packaging machines are running efficiently and preparing fresh green tea for sale . "From hand-fried tea to electrically fried tea, we have achieved precise control over the heating process. We can easily fry (炒制) more than 50 kilograms of tea in a day. And reliable electricity is also the key to the quality of tea," said Wang Hong, a local staff member.
Currently, there are more than 500 green tea production companies in Zhucheng. In order to strengthen the Zhucheng Green Tea brand, the State Grid Zhucheng Power Supply Company has taken many effective measures in recent years. For example, they have opened a green channel for serving tea farmers. Customers can ensure reliable electricity without having to visit service windows.
