Tea prices have generally risen this year

At the beginning of spring, Pu'er tea increased by 10% to 15%. However, after the Ching Ming Festival, the general increase of Pu'er tea reached 30% to 50%. Chen Jianxiong, general manager of Yunnan Pu'er Ancient Road Tea & Tea Co., Ltd. analyzed: “After the 3·25 earthquake, the Yunnan area continued to rain for 5 days, which caused the spring tea to germinate, the manpower was insufficient, and the picking could not be completed, resulting in a decrease in tea production and labor costs. Soaring, Pu'er tea prices soared."

The first-line well-known tea products are "across the board." After Pu'er, Longjing, and Tieguanyin, the upcoming market for tea also has a trend of increasing prices. Tan Yirong, secretary-general of the Municipal Tea Association, said that since the increase in cost represented by labor this year, the price of tea has skyrocketed and it is expected that the average annual increase will reach 15% to 20%. For example, Chaozhou Phoenix Single Cong Cong "Jiang Mu Xiang", this spring purchase price has exceeded 80,000 yuan / jin; Yingde tea history "British Red Nine" 6000 yuan per catty; Yunnan Pu'er famous "old class chapter" average price At about 2,000 yuan... "In early April, the purchase price of the old class chapter was only 1,500 yuan/kg, and now it has jumped to 2,000 yuan/jin, which is more than doubled from last year. Some 6-7 meters high The tea price of the old tree tea is as much as 10,000 yuan.”

From the beginning of the year, all varieties of tea have different degrees of price adjustment, including the high-end Mingqian Longjing and popular tea and green tea. The above dealers said: "Original wholesale price of flower tea is 75 yuan / kg, and now Mao Mao will be 68 yuan / kg, and then spent three times, spent less than the wholesale price also reached 100 yuan / kg, up more than three percent." Tan Yirong Said: "The main reason for the rise in tea prices is increased costs, especially labor costs. For example, tea farmers who picked Longjing, formerly 70 to 80 yuan per person per day, and now reach 130 to 140 yuan per day, but also eat and live. "A dealer near the Zhujiang Road said:" After two days I went to Guangxi to spend on tea, the wholesale price will rise about 30%, this year all kinds of tea prices have risen."
