September 2025 Financial Update | Village Dividend Report
Share
This month marked another round of village dividends, a regular sharing of funds that keeps our cooperative model alive and transparent.
A total of 2,400 RMB (≈ $328.77 USD) was distributed among eight households, with each household receiving 300 RMB (≈ $41.10 USD). Each share included:
- 225 RMB (≈ $30.82 USD) from One River Tea’s donation fund, supporting our volunteer and organic farming programs, and
- 75 RMB (≈ $10.27 USD) advanced from FlowInverseTea’s own cooperative income, drawn from recent tea processing and sales still being finalized (especially from Kickstarter projects， waiting for everyone receiving packages).
This structure — part external support, part local income — reflects how we hope the cooperative will evolve: gradually becoming more self-sustaining while still rooted in shared generosity.
