Challenge faced by small farmers of Dragon's Well green tea





The photos in the previous two blogs are taken by one of my tea friends. Her parents are the tea farmers in Dragon's Well village. They have the best Dragon's Well green tea, but hard to sell. Meanwhile, the market is full of fake Dragon's well green tea. Why?

Because the big companies dominate the whole tea market and lots of small doggy companies also want to share this market. Small farmers live in the countryside and hardly have channel to talk to consumer directly. They neither have sufficient fund nor resource to enter the market and compete with giant companies.

I wish there is FAIR TRADING compaign in China as well...........
