　　這也是古絲綢之路上的重要一站。但其茶業發展一直不景氣。萬虎茶葉利用知名品牌西湖工夫茶正在幫他們改善形式。

It was also an important stop on the ancient Silk Road. But its tea industry has been floundering of late. Wanhu Tea's West Lake Kungfu, a recognized brand, is helping improve the situation.

　　萬虎茶葉有限公司現在在喬治亞擁有超過200公頃的茶園。預計未來幾年將有更多種植園。

Wanhu Tea now owns more than 200 hectares of tea plantations in Georgia. More plantations are expected in the next few years.

"The local government is keen to cooperate with us for the long term, as the quantity and quality of our tea products have been improving," said Zhang Wanhu, 43, president of Wanhu Tea.

　　喬治亞農民的主要收入來源是秋作。張先生説，在淡季，每月只有約200拉裏（$ 114）。

The main source of income for Georgian farmers is autumn crops. During the slack seasons, they make only about 200 lari ($114) per month, according to Zhang.

In 1893, Liu Junzhou set forth from Ningbo of East China's Zhejiang province and brought tea seeds and workers to Georgia. He lived in the country for 21 years, during which he opened tea plantations and a tea school, and trained tea planters. Liu laid the foundation for Georgia's modern tea producers.

　　“當我第一次來到這裡時，野草比茶葉高。但我可以認識到，這裡的茶是中國茶葉古老品種之一”張説。

"When I first came here, the wild grass was taller than tea shrubs, but I could recognize that the tea here is of ancient Chinese strain," Zhang said.

　　今年4月份，張先生和他的茶師團隊再次前往喬治亞，傳播先進的制茶技術。

In April this year, Zhang and his team of tea masters went to Georgia again to introduce advanced tea-making techniques.

　　山生於山西張萬虎知道當地茶商開發了著名的中俄茶道。在明清統治時期（1368-1911），中國茶葉從華東到蒙古和俄羅斯的運輸路線。

Born in Shanxi province, Zhang knows that local tea merchants had developed the famous Sino-Russian Tea Road. The route enabled transport of Chinese tea from East China's Fujian province to Mongolia and Russia during the reigns of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911).

　　“中國是茶的發源地，擁有優良的茶葉技術和深厚的茶文化，作為中國茶具，我不得不在全世界普及中國茶葉産品和文化。”

"China is the birthplace of tea, and it boasts excellent tea-making techniques and profound tea cultures. As a Chinese tea maker, I feel obliged to popularize Chinese tea products and cultures across the world," Zhang said.
