Keeping bees, in a hat, at a Mountain Tea 山茶 tea garden on Dong Ding 💪 That’s gotta be some of the best honey 🍯🤤 #gongfutea #tea #floatingleavestea #gongfucha #teanerd #gongfu #teaaddict
Happy to be back on Dong Ding with my main man Mr. Su 🥰
We’re having a lot of fun and drinking tons of good tea. Feel very grateful for the mentors who have guided us on our tea path. Always learn so much while we’re together!

Feeling good, high up on Shan Lin Xi 😎
Good tea this year! Can’t wait to share.

Shan Lin Xi is harvesting! The lack of rain means things are a little later than usual, but it looks like we’ll have a good Shan Lin Xi pretty soon. We’re probably looking at releasing this along with Alishan and Baozhong in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!

My new favorite thing to do at a tea garden is chewing on one of the fresh little buds and comparing the taste of different plants. It makes micro variations in growing climate so much more obvious.
Like, if there’s a lot of other plants around the bush providing shade or if the tea bush is more solitary, absorbing lots of direct sun - the impact of the leaves as you chew them is totally different! Cultivars, elevation, it all becomes so damn tangible when you’re on the mountain chewing on the leaves 😁🍃 So much fun!

According to these farmers there are very few people still making handmade dragonwell in Taiwan. The skill is difficult to learn and still it takes about an hour to finish one Taiwanese Jin of tea this way! The grand master who this gentleman learned from is in his mid 80’s and is a certified Living National Treasure.
This is in Sanxia where they also make Bi Luo Chun and some very nice white teas. #gongfutea #tea #floatingleavestea #gongfucha #teanerd #gongfu #teaaddict
Feels good to be up in the mountains again! Spring tea harvest is underway and looking really good 🤩🍵
My friend is going to be making white tea with these feral bushes as an experiment this year. For oolong it will still be a little while, probably early May, before this high elevation garden is ready.

Join us for the @cascadiatea festival this Saturday in Everett at the Forest Center! It’s going to be a good time with lots of local tea folks. Beautiful space too! Hope to see you there 🍵🥰🎉
Good news! We discovered a couple more bags of tea from the recent drop. They are available on the site now 🥰
Originally they had sold out the first day! But a small number of bags got shoved to the back of the shelf and evaded being counted in that first inventory.
We didn’t want to send out a whole new newsletter for these few bags of Bug Bitten Dong Ding and Cloudburst Oolong. Our newsletter is the best place to hear about these drops though!
Thank you to everyone who placed an order last Friday! We hope you love the teas as much as we do.
