2009 Oolong Tea Tour Podcast-Making Rock Oolong pt1
Welcome to our tea and tea culture video podcast with Zhuping Hodge, tea master and owner of Seven Cups. Last year we launched three very successful tea tours to China. Many hours of video were taken and we want to share them with you. Follow Zhuping as she tours Mr. Liu’s rock oolong tea factory. Please note this is part 1 of 3 videos with the famous rock oolong master.

Thank you all for your comments regarding our podcasts. We would like to create future podcasts on topics you all are interested in, so please contact us with ideas.
Andrea does an incredible job on these podcasts. I hope we get a chance to talk about my trip to China and my future trip to China. She is friend of mine I would love to hear from.
Is there a market for the large leaves that are rejected? Can they be used as fertilizer?
Tea leaves are good composting material, especially here in Arizona where the soil is very alkaline. I don't think there is much of a market for the used leaves.
I love your website.
Keep up the amazing work!
I have just ordered a pino electric water kettle that keeps water at any desired temp you want. I am also looking at a few puer cakes, oolongs, and some greens to get from Seven Cups. I've downloaded the menu, now I have to choose…Decisions!
Thanks Michael! I hope you enjoy your tea. The Pino Kettle looks interesting. Thanks for the tip.

I love the videos, but what happened to parts 2 & 3 of "2009 Oolong Tea Tour Podcast-Making Rock Oolong pt1"?
I would have liked to have seen more of the oolong tea making process.
You site is great by the way…
Zhuping is sooo lucky to go to such beautiful places! Too bad we can't all make a trip together… the tea-house would be empty!

When Zhuping says that RouGui oolong is "pinched" on the top, what does she mean? Or is she saying "peach," and referring to any fuzz/hairs on the leaf? I'm a bit lost in translation here…
Also, she refers to the difficulty of finding certain examples of tea-bushes on the mountainside. Are they scattered & mixed haphazardly along the slope? It looks as though they are planted in rows.
Thanks Austin!!
