2024 Spring Tea has just started being picked, and the prospects are looking good! We spend the first part of this episode talking about green tea and what it’s like living through the Mingqian hype here in China. We get onto the topic of this episode, sourcing Puer in Menghai, and we say goodbye to the cast of characters we met in Lincang and we share a new set of faces we meet down in Menghai. We talk about the mysterious Paul, the man behind White2Tea, we talk about sketchy border teas, over-talkative taxi drivers, and of course farmer Tan and his remarkable Huazhu Liangzi Gushu. As always, almost all the teas talked about in this episode are available on the OneRiverTea.com website, and any tangentally talked about teaware can be found at TaoTeaware.com. As always, thanks for supporting our podcast and your interest in Modern Tea in Modern China!
