Wilting White Peony
More knife cut noodles!!
We found out on our second visit that the brothers were muslims from a nomadic tribe to the far north western part of China in Gui Zhou. No wonder, as this type of handcrafting food is harder and harder to find, and most kids their age, like it is around the world, can’t be bothered with hard skilled hand labor!
Now that Qing Ming is over and the pre-rain harvest of White Down Silver Needle/ Baihao Yinzhen is also officially over, we are harvesting the White Peony white tea here at Fuding, Fujian, China. The weather was incredibly cooperative for photo taking today, with clear blue skies, a little breeze, and lots of mosquitoes out for blood just for me. The days leading up to Qing Ming, alas, were filled…
