Anxi, a typical rural small city that serves the great Anxi mountain range, home of many Oolongs, particularly, the legendary Tieguanyin. Arrived into a misty, very cold night. This year, as it happens every 30 years or so, is the phenomenon of the winter spring. Some winter days roared back into the middle of the spring, killing quite a few tea sprouts. This was reported so far in Fuding, Phoenix,Hangzhou, here in Anxi, and also in Yunnan. Well, it also happened in the Bay Area so it must have been global.
Arrived into a night of blinding white fog. Let’s see if I make it up the steep, blind turns up the tea mountain.
If I do, will be up all night tonight tasting through hundreds of teas since flight delays set me back almost a half day.
