His father sent him to the Fujian tea college after high school. It was free and they were poor. After graduating, he got a job roasting oolong at a big tea company, but the politics of a large organization didn’t suit him and he soon quit and found work outside of tea. But he didn't stay away for long. When asked why he stays with tea, he smiles and says “I don’t know other stuff better than tea.\"\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bamboo-forest-bai-mu-dan-white-tea","title":"Bamboo Forest Bai Mu Dan | White Tea","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe're hoping to source a new lot in the future, but there is no guarantee.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; background: white;\"\u003eThe depth of simplicity. Light in body, but definitive in flavor and presence. Herbaceous without being sharp or vegetal. Satisfying, clean, mineral finish. Good for many steeps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; background: white;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with the Fuding Big Hair cultivar, this white tea was made by Mr. Tang Shuang Jiang on April 10, 2020. The material comes from Lake Forest Village of Fuding city in Fujian province. In addition to the many lakes, there are dense bamboo forests growing alongside the tea plants which gives them a unique aroma. According to one local story, a young couple was chased out of the village and the girl was forced to jump into a lake. When the boy found his lover’s body, he joined her in her fate. An angel found this tragedy moving and let the lake become land. The girl was turned into a tea plant and the boy turned into a bamboo tree to cover her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: white tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSteeping Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3 grams | 8 oz water | 175°F | Steep 3 min. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional Steeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 grams | 6 oz water | 212°F | Rinse 5 sec. | Steep 30 sec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 oz makes 19 cups, 4 oz makes 38 cups, 1 lb makes 151 cups\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TeaSource","offers":[{"title":"2 ounce","offer_id":32578444197935,"sku":"70502","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 ounce","offer_id":32578444230703,"sku":"70504","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 pound","offer_id":32578444263471,"sku":"70501","price":182.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/8900\/products\/8519_Bamboo-Forest-Bai-Mu-Dan_web.jpg?v=1632192916"},{"product_id":"agate-hunter-oolong-tea","title":"Agate Hunter Rock Tea | Oolong Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the thrill of the hunt.
