In China, there is a group of people who make a living with tea and spend their lives with tea. They are tea farmers, the main force in the planting, picking, processing, and selling of tea. Their lives are closely related to tea, and their emotions are closely linked to tea.

When the first sunshine in the morning shines on the tea garden, the tea farmers start their day’s work. They need to pick fresh tea leaves in the tea garden and process and handle them. In the processing process, the tea farmers need to spend a lot of time and energy to ensure the quality and taste of the tea. They usually use traditional manual processing methods to ensure the quality and uniqueness of the tea.

The tea farmers have a deep emotion for tea. They may have been growing tea in the tea garden for generations, and they have a unique understanding and awareness of the quality and taste of tea. When processing and selling tea, they also pay attention to the quality and taste of the tea to ensure that consumers can taste the best tea.

Tea has a long history and culture in China. The tea farmers usually also inherit and carry forward this culture, for example, through tea art performances, tea exhibitions, etc., to show people the history and culture of tea. In the tea art performance, the tea farmers will use skillful techniques to brew the tea into cups full of aroma and delicious taste, allowing people to feel the charm and cultural connotation of tea.

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the way of life and work of tea farmers is constantly changing. For example, some tea farmers start to use modern planting and processing technologies to improve the quality and output of tea. At the same time, some tea farmers also start to explore new sales channels and methods to increase the sales volume and popularity of tea.

However, no matter how life and work change, the tea farmers’ emotion and love for tea never change. They make a living with tea and spend their lives with tea, using their hard work and wisdom to make important contributions to the development and inheritance of tea.
