In April, Jingdong comes back to life, with the breath of spring nourishing every inch of land and bringing forth vibrant vitality. As the star of spring, Tea leaves are revealing their new appearance. The scent of tea fills each plantation and permeates mountain after mountain. Local tea farmers are busy picking the first flush of new buds.

On the tea mountains, it's common to see tea farmers carrying small baskets on their backs, moving between the tea trees, picking tender shoots—a picturesque scene of “the fragrance of a bud and a leaf, a person and a basket busy picking tea” in spring. Surrounded by the tea forest, the sight is a sea of green, and the scent is the subtle aroma of tea, like a natural oxygen bar, making one want to breathe deeply and feel instantly refreshed. What goes into the baskets is not just tea leaves, but also the hope of spring and people's yearning for a better life. The emerald Green Tea mountains have become a “gold mine” for tea farmers' income growth.
