I scored some wild green tea from the other side of the mountain. Mr. Dai’s friend managed to make just a bit for us all to try at the harvest party. This mountain turned out to be one of the original indigenous areas of the guanmu bush type Camellia sinensis. Not only are many tea bushes ancient and thousands of years old, there are numerous wild tea bushes all over in the topmost areas of the mountain. Just paying the teapickers to hunt and find and harvest these sparse bushes though makes it difficult, but it’s not yet prohibitive. I plan to procure as much as they can make so such treasures do not go to waste!
