China, as the world’s largest producer and consumer of tea, has an expansive tea plantation industry. According to statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the country currently has 50 million mu of tea plantations, with an annual output of 3.55 million tons. Many regions in southern China are major tea-growing areas — provinces like Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hubei each have over 5 million mu of tea gardens, while Fujian, Hunan, Zhejiang, and Anhui also exceed 3 million mu.

Among the many tea varieties, Anji White Tea from Zhejiang has gained remarkable market popularity in recent years. Although classified as a green tea, it comes from the Baiye No. 1 cultivar, which is sensitive to low temperatures. It has a distinct appearance — resembling phoenix feathers, with white leaves and green veins, and gives off a refreshing and long-lasting aroma. Compared to ordinary green teas, it has higher amino acid content and lower polyphenol levels, making it taste fresh and mellow without bitterness.

Anji White Tea covers about 200,000 mu in planting area, and when including surrounding regions like Changxing, Xuancheng, and Liyang, the total area reaches approximately 600,000 mu, making it a major economic crop in the region.

Fertilization Is Key to Success for Tea Farmers

Fertilization is a crucial step in Anji White Tea cultivation. Local growers traditionally apply fertilizer differently than the method recommended by ENTEC®. Here's a comparison (application units: kg/mu):

ENTEC® Shows Clear Advantages in the Field

🌱 Stronger Growth Vigor

Tea plants treated with ENTEC® grow more vigorously. Budding in spring is earlier and more uniform, and the buds are plump — enabling early harvest, giving growers a market advantage.

📈 Significant Yield Increase

Shorter internodes and increased bud density mean more harvestable buds per branch — on average, 2.2 more buds per branch compared to traditional fertilization.

🍃 Better Leaf Quality

Leaves become thicker. In a random sample of 10 leaves, ENTEC®-treated leaves averaged 7.10 mm in thickness, compared to 5.86 mm with conventional fertilization — an average increase of 21%.

☀️ Enhanced Photosynthesis

ENTEC® slows down leaf yellowing, increasing the SPAD value (a measure of chlorophyll content) of overwintered leaves by 3.6%. This enhances photosynthesis, providing more energy for the tea plant’s growth.

Visual Trial Results

• Leaf Thickness Comparison: ENTEC® improves leaf structure and photosynthetic capacity.
• Branch Comparison: More harvestable buds on ENTEC®-treated branches.
• Bud Comparison: ENTEC® produces fuller, more marketable buds.
