The other side of tea

The new harvest is now available.

The colours of these beautiful, fresh leaves still growing on the bushes range from a lush green reminiscent of moss, through burgundy and deep brown, to black. These wild varieties of tea bushes and trees, so different from those I have seen before, grow on the slopes of the Yuanbao Mountains. The days it took to reach these places are the essence of this tea. The leaves are picked by the villagers and then processed by a small producer. In my opinion, this is a truly rare tea delicacy.
