Being Indiana Jones, even for a tea version, is rather strenuous. This morning, at Nannuo Shan, visiting with the ancient tea trees. It’s hard to keep track after a few hundred years, particularly for the ethnic minorities who often don’t even have a written language. These trees are likely thousands of years old, based on the circumference of the trunk at base. High elevation means slow growth, so based on growth rate vs trunk size, they can estimate the age. Here in the woods full of old tea trees, the steep hills without a road, I began my full day of trekking.
