It's been a long time since I've posted here. And a very long time since I posted about tea. This tea is my long-term favourite. It's the first genuinely premium Chinese tea I had coming to China, a 庐山云雾茶 (Lúshān Yúnwù Chá, Lushan Cloud & Mist Tea). A mid-range version of this is on my permanent rotation (in place now for over 25 years), but once a year, in the spring, I get a premium first flush. This is a premium first flush. Specifically it was picked *and processed* on 2026-04-12, so a week after Qingming. This makes it almost, but not quite, a pre-Qingming tea (the absolute peak in local tea culture). This is much more expensive than my usual daily drinker. I splurge on it, though, because it is really good. #茶 #中国茶 #江西茶 #庐山茶 #绿茶 #清明茶 #Tea #ChineseTea #JiangxiTea #LushanTea #GreenTea #QingmingTea As usual the alt text contains more information.
