Fields of Tea, China

Fields of Tea

  

Intrduce :

The coastal province of Zhejiang is famed for their gorgeous green tea fields. But as Greenpeace's recent investigation reveals suppliers have been spraying their fields with a huge number of different pesticides including, in some cases, pesticides that have been banned by the Chinese government.

Tea drinking is one of China's most cherished customs; and tea a symbol of Chinese culture.

Today, China is the world's biggest tea producer, with 20 tea-producing provinces and eight million tea growers. And the area of tea plantations and annual tea output in the country is on a continuous rise.

However, the latest Greenpeace investigation has discovered that the massive use of chemical pesticides is seriously affecting the safety of tea in the Chinese market.
