On July 12, Zhu Jiahu, a 57-year-old tea farmer in Caihua Township, Wufeng County, took part in the training of the European Tea Base Construction of the County Tea Bureau and then voluntarily asked to join the European Tea Base Cooperative Association established by seven key tea enterprises in the township.
