Green organic tea
Recently, with the rise of awareness of environmental protection, Taiwan’s tea industries have engaged in natural farming and organic cultivation. Natural farming is to maintain health of soil and produce safe and good quality of products. Teas, fertilized with chemicals, are brisk, bitter and astringent in taste when brewing too long. With natural farming, teas bitten by insects create natural fragrance. During the fermentation, teas, with rich pectin, release honey flavor, and taste smooth.
The eco-engineering of organic farming can be divided into the followings:
1.To prevent pests, farmers follow the method of natural production. That is, farmers won’t use chemical, and won’t pollute water resources, soil and ecosystem.
2.With Cultivation techniques, farmers try to use more green manure and livestock wastes which are non-polluted organic composts.
3.Farmers use ecological principles to prevent pests and weeds like Synergetic crops and natural enemies.
4.Air, soil and water resource are tested no pollution.
