Recently, at the production workshop of Hubei Xiao’s Tea Industry Co Ltd of Yichang Tea Group in Yiling District, three small-package export production lines were running at full capacity. “The current batch we’re producing is a customized order from a client in Algeria,” said Gong Dong, director of the tea commodity workshop at Yichang Tea Group.

　　To expand into overseas markets, the company invested over 5 million yuan last year to introduce three advanced automated production lines, becoming the first tea enterprisewith both tea blending and small packaging capabilities for export in Yichang. This move has directly increased its annual export tea production capacity to 8,000 tons.

　　At the same time, the company has leveraged the overseas distribution network of Angel Yeast Group, using its global sales channels to vigorously promote Yiling tea, continuously enhancing its international visibility and influence. Today, Yiling tea is exported to over 50 countries and regions, with its overseas market footprint steadily growing.

　　“In the first quarter, Yichang Tea Group’s Hubei Xiao’s Tea Industry achieved a sales revenue of 114 million yuan, with self-operated exports reaching 14 million yuan to regions including the Middle East and Africa. Currently, we have 130 tons of export orders in production,” said General Manager Xiang Qinghua. (Reporter/Song Xiaoxiao, Correspondents/Yue Li and Zhou Xingcheng)
