The tea industry is one of the leading industries in Jiangsu. Green tea is mainly processed，however，the production has gone down recently. Meanwhile，the production of black tea has continued to rise as more and more companies are trying to increase the volume of its production. Under the adjustment of China’s polices，mechanical methods of harvesting tea in tea plantations have emerged，which might have beaten the traditional high-quality tea by reducing production costs and increasing the output of production at the same time. Instant tea in Jiangsu has become a high volume market in China. Some technology companies are planning to develop more and more new products to meet the market needs. The increase of production costs and operating costs，the low level scale of the industry，and the resource constraints and shortages allowed on seasonal demand are limited factors for the development of the tea industry，which requires professional technical supports and services by using mechanical methods in harvesting tea，developing new varieties of black tea，utilizing seasonal resources more effectively and promoting the integrated development in the primary，secondary，and tertiary industries.
