Four Seasons or Jin Shuan this season? Flower aroma or milky fragrance? Tea is scarce this spring due to drought, so quality is exceptional. But everyone’s got a long face. Production is 70% less than previous year. I assured them that we also have drought in California with just 1 year of water left. As for earthquakes, the tremors last week on the island have nothing on us in the Bay Area!
But the US is a country, they said. Taiwan is in indefinite limbo. It’s not recognized as a country by the international community, yet it is independent from China. Besides, Hong Kong is a great example of not going back to the fold. To have lived in freedom and then put in a cage, is much worst than being born and raised in captivity. So sadly, Taiwan, a warm, friendly island of great people, tea, and pineapples, remain with an uncertain future. Such a sad problem has to be glossed over. So the big news this week, the huge news, is that a chain of bubble tea cafés have tainted beverages!!
