Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Fuzhou Tea and Me. Sipping and slurping my way across China one cup of tea at a time. 政和 Zhenghe – Idyllic Tea Outpost. December 23, 2012. I’ve been to many a beautiful tea mountain since arriving in Fujian, but this week I went to a town that took the biscuit. Countryside near Jinping, Zhenghe. Zhenghe’s main and busiest street. Inside a traditional Qing Dynasty house in Jinping. Organic wild grown tea leaves, complete with insect bites. The tea itself is...

Outraged Pregnant* Feminist | Fuzhou Tea & Me
https://umamimuktukandtigernuts.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/outraged-pregnant-feminist
Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Fuzhou Tea and Me. Sipping and slurping my way across China one cup of tea at a time. November 27, 2012. I am not pregnant, but am simply being feminist on behalf of pregnant women in China in this post. And I am outraged. Whilst I’d like to be culturally accepting, I’d also like to share with the wider world the bizarre discrimination that pregnant women and new mothers receive due to ancient folklore in the Middle Kingdom. 3 Once you give birth, you may ...

The Vital Oolong: February 2009
http://gong-fu-cha.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Adventures in tea drinking. Friday, 27 February 2009. George Orwell, a man I hold in very high esteem, wrote a piece for the Evening Standard in 1946 called A Nice Cup of Tea. In which he describes the how, in his view, one ought to make a pot of tea. It's a wonderful article full of vigorous opinion and he brings up the usual British tea controversies such as milk in first/last, warming the pot, teabags, sweetener etc. all of which are completely beyond my conception of tea drinking. I would dearly love...

Monkeys and Tea | Fuzhou Tea & Me
https://umamimuktukandtigernuts.wordpress.com/2012/12/02/monkeys-and-tea
Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Fuzhou Tea and Me. Sipping and slurping my way across China one cup of tea at a time. December 2, 2012. A year or so ago, I got an email from a colleague’s brother asking if a tea that he’d seen online was really picked by monkeys. The website he was looking at was really quite unequivocal…stating outright that ‘resourceful little simians’ were specially trained to pick tea and enjoyed their work.

Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Fuzhou Tea and Me. Sipping and slurping my way across China one cup of tea at a time. 大田 ‘Big Field’, No Fields In Sight. November 27, 2012. There was an awkward moment a few weeks ago, after arriving in a small town, four and a half hours from Fuzhou called 大田, Datian or ‘Big Field’. The mountains of Datian. Datian Tea Terraces – not a big field in sight. Tasting some High Mountain Oolong with the producers. Datian itself is a fantastic town. With a s...
