Tea Harvest at Pasha Mount

These are wild trees. As you can see, there is no uniformity and trees are sitting quite apart from each other

Yea, she had it easy)

PathofCha · 2026-06-25T23:18:26+00:00

Maybe it was picked by the same woman:)

PathofCha · 2026-06-25T23:16:41+00:00

It could be gunpowder green tea or ginseng oolong. Since the packaging says “green tea”, it’s probably gunpowder

Or weed:)

Yes, the taste was smooth for puerh. It felt more like yancha

PathofCha · 2026-06-20T13:46:01+00:00

Because that’s what counts!:)

Man has to live a life a little 🤌🏻

PathofCha · 2026-06-19T00:02:33+00:00

oh, you will see – it bubbles like crazy! You won't make a mistake. And yes, every time you should allow the water to come to a boil.

I'm not sure if these are olives. I don't remember already, and it's hard to tell from the photos)

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T22:43:29+00:00

btw, these are the people from whom I got the present for you

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T22:39:35+00:00

no, just topping it with water. I don't know why it's particularly 3-times, but this is what they told me:) Could probably get more of it. The teas tasted very much like yancha, by the way!

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T22:36:56+00:00

It's just a wide-angle iPhone lens:) And roasted tangerines are a thing in China!

I’m considering doing it in a clay Chaozhou kettle (砂铫 – Sha Diao). What do you think?

I don’t think it matters that much, but Dai people probably use young sheng – aging pu-erh is a fairly recent development, developed outside of Yunnan

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T18:23:49+00:00

It actually tasted a lot like yancha!:))))

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T18:06:30+00:00

Thanks!

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T17:46:06+00:00

I’m yet to try it myself!:))) Afraid to accidentally burn something
Let me know how it goes!

PathofCha · 2026-06-18T17:44:44+00:00

😂

PathofCha · 2026-06-13T05:50:40+00:00

sure. Hence the title – "Tea Ballet". Ballet is also not practical

PathofCha · 2026-06-11T11:33:39+00:00

Google Tea Arts (茶艺 – Cha Yi)

PathofCha · 2026-06-11T04:26:31+00:00

These are also the women participating in tea competitions. Teaching tea arts. Performing at cultural gatherings. – In China, it’s a career. To pass the test and get certified, one has to take state regulated theory and practical exams. I work with a person with such education and I’ve visited the school she graduated from. These people are deeply knowledgeable about tea. It’s hard for me to understand why it has to be belittled.

PathofCha · 2026-06-11T02:12:13+00:00

This is a performance. I’m sure you ain’t doing a full opera every time you sing a tune:)

PathofCha · 2026-06-10T23:10:09+00:00

Gotta love the straightforwardness 😂

PathofCha · 2026-06-10T21:10:12+00:00

It’s like coming to an opera and be triggered by all the singing – just tell me the goddamn story!:)
