Taciturn, with a dry sense of humor, straighter than an arrow, and previous village doctor, Mr. Lin found himself the new Mayor of Che Shi village, home of the original Tieguanyin. He was appointed by unanimous appointment by the villagers. He will probably end up being the only official in the country not going to bribed.
But, he said, he did gain an advantage. Using his status as the mayor, he outbid other people to the rights to an enormous mountain near the rest of his farm, so that he can plant one of the first ever, biodynamic tea farms. I need help with planning, should I plant flowers? What kind of trees, he wondered. I laughed my head off. Mr. Lin, a politician? When asked why he quit being the village doctor, he said ‘I didn’t have any business, people were too healthy drinking tea’.
