Wild ginger flowers
Mr. Chen’s farm is small and filled with fragrant flowers of a different sort. These wild ginger flowers are not only intensely fragrant, they are also sweet and alluringly intoxicating. That would be the description for his Honey Jia Long, the tea he invented. We were treated to a spicy, unbelievable version of it that Mr. Chen has aged for 4 years or so, and everyone’s minds and palates were blown away. How can tea be this good? It was after all, difficult to get people’s attention. The tour group had been treated to some fried tempura tea leaves and tea oil tossed rice noodles for lunch cooked by Mrs. Chen. And now, to experience a tea this good to top off that lunch. The group was in heaven.
