Mogan Mountain Tea Plantation

After she returned with this latest tea I brewed it and enjoyed the fresh flavors. This is the first time I got to see where the tea was grown, prepared, and purchased. 🙂
I look forward to Mari’s next visit and the tea she will return with. My fav so far was a Jasmine with Rose petals. It had a rich Jasmine flavor with a subtle hint of rose. I’ve tried other versions of it and tried blending it myself but none were as delicious as that small packet Mari brought me on her first trip to China.

I like to take photos of beautiful things like rain falling into puddles. Photos were mostly taken on a Fuji XE-2. Starting 9.9.2016 most photos are taken on a Fuji XT-2. Subsequent photos were taken with an Iphone 13 Pro and an Iphone 15 Pro Max.

She has grown up so fast! Lovely photos of the tea fields and process 🙂
Soo
Yes. I miss the old days when I was giving her piggy back rides everywhere. Thanks! Mari took some great photos!

My grandmother recently lectured me that I should only drink loose leaf tea (vs the bagged tea she finds in my pantry). My family always brings me loose leaf teas from Asia when they visit me. This was a fun post to read as I didn’t know there were ‘pick your own leaf’ tea plantations!
Soo
Your grandmother is wise. I only drink bagged tea at restaurants or events when they don’t have loose leaf tea. Your family is cool! What’s your fav tea?
Maggie
Smart Grandmother, mine advised the same. Loose leaf tea is supposed to be so much healthier for you.

Thanks! I am a huge tea fan so I loved learning about how I got my tea.
