云南古树茶十年暴涨千倍：从贫困村到"茶王村"的商业传奇
云南勐海县布朗山乡老班章村，这个曾经默默无闻的小山村，如今已成为中国最富裕的茶村之一。13年间，这里的普洱茶价格从每公斤6元飙升至8000元，涨幅近千倍。
Brown Mountain Village in Menghai County, Yunnan, once an obscure mountain village, has now become one of China's wealthiest tea-producing villages. In just 13 years, the price of Pu'er tea here has skyrocketed from 6 yuan per kilogram to 8,000 yuan, an increase of nearly 1,000 times.

2002年，老班章毛茶每公斤仅售6元；到2023年，古树茶毛茶价格已达6000-8000元/公斤。全村127户茶农，年茶叶产值近2亿元，户均年收入超百万元。
In 2002, raw tea from Laobanzhang sold for just 6 yuan per kilogram; by 2023, the price of ancient tree tea has reached 6,000-8,000 yuan/kg.

防伪措施升级：从设卡检查到雇佣外国人盯采
Anti-Counterfeiting Measures Escalate: From Checkpoints to Hiring Foreign Overseers
为防止茶叶调包，村民在村口设卡检查，禁止任何外来茶叶进村。更有茶商雇佣缅甸工人全程监督采摘制作过程，因其语言不通难以与茶农串通。
To prevent tea substitution, villagers have set up checkpoints at village entrances prohibiting any outside tea from entering. Some tea merchants even hire Myanmar workers to oversee the entire picking and production process, as their language barrier makes collusion with local farmers difficult.
古茶树保护困境：过度采摘与保护缺失
The Dilemma of Ancient Tea Tree Protection: Overharvesting and Lack of Conservation
1988-1990年间，勐海县2万亩古茶树被砍伐矮化。如今古茶树成为"摇钱树"，过度采摘导致部分古茶树死亡。当地虽设立古茶树保护办公室，但缺乏编制和经费。
Between 1988-1990, 20,000 mu of ancient tea trees were cut down in Menghai County. Now these trees have become "money trees", with overharvesting leading to the death of some ancient trees. Although a protection office has been established, it lacks staff and funding.
天价茶叶背后的市场泡沫
The Market Bubble Behind Sky-High Tea Prices
800年树龄的古树"单株"茶报价15万元/公斤，但专家指出古树茶与台地茶成分几乎无差别。勐海县副县长何青元表示，2023年高端古树茶价格已回落20-30%。
Tea from 800-year-old "single tree" ancient tea trees is quoted at 150,000 yuan/kg, but experts point out there's almost no difference in composition between ancient tree tea and terrace tea. Deputy County Chief He Qingyuan noted that in 2023, prices for premium ancient tree tea have fallen 20-30%.
这场持续十余年的"茶叶狂欢"背后，折射出中国农产品品牌化进程中的机遇与挑战。从老班章村的案例可以看出，品牌价值与稀缺性创造已成为农产品溢价的核心要素。
Behind this decade-long "tea carnival" lies the opportunities and challenges in China's agricultural product branding process. The case of Laobanzhang Village shows that brand value and scarcity creation have become core factors in agricultural product premium pricing.
