In the morning of March 31, a grand ceremony was held in Fuxi township of Huizhou district, Huangshan city, to introduce Huangshan Maofeng tea to the public.

Senior Huangshan municipal government officials, the media and over 100 tea technicians from Xieyuda, Guangming and Zixia tea companies attended the ceremony.

Fuxi is recognized as the source of Huangshan Maofeng, one of the top 10 tea brands in the country.

All local tea gardens have passed certification for organic tea and green tea production.

They spread into the regional mountains and valleys, with 90 percent forest coverage, ideal for tea planting.

The inaugural ceremony, decorated with tea-leaves-picking talent competition, tea art performance, photography and Huizhou tea Q&A, publicized Huizhou as the cradle of Huangshan Maofeng tea.
