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!!

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!

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.

Is there a market for the large leaves that are rejected? Can they be used as fertilizer?

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.
