Mr Lin says real organic teas can not really live on really low mountain either. The bugs will eat them alive. If they are grown on any sort of slope, then the price automatically surpasses the export price requirement. There is no cheap, real organic tea, and forget about tasting good. So how do they do it？ Low mountain farmers would buy 10 jins or so from Mr Lin, take it to the lab, pass the test, and export their cheap teas as organic. Mystery solved!
I am so glad we buy from people who are like family to me, and I know their farms well, and we don’t go through 5 layers of middlemen.
Travel on I must!
