During 15 years of work and travel in Yunnan, we tasted tea in (almost) all conditions!
From "Gong Fu Cha" practiced in the rules of the art, to the blind tastings, passing by the meticulous comparisons of "crus": these are tens of hours spent at the tea table with our partners during each trip, then again in our own tea space when we return to France. How did the leaves support the press? The journey? Then: how do our cakes evolve over the years?
Here are the tasting times.

But there are also all the other moments where we taste, sometimes almost in a hurry, a tea in the mountains, at the chance of an encounter, an unexpected stop, and where we would especially not want to miss the rare bird...
Sometimes it takes a lot of daring to start buying! At least: you have to trust your instinct or experience.
Most often, we leave with a small bag of Mao Cha, just a few kilos, as we would bring back postcards from the journey...  "let s try" we say!
By chance... we've almost always had nice surprises.

Finally, there are all these times when people call us, in tea markets for example: "Where do you come from? What are you doing here? Tea? Come on"!
He Cha! (Let's drink tea): occasions of simple conviviality, without any obligation, that we do not refuse.

Here is an anthology of these moments that are so many good memories... while waiting for the next sessions that we hope all close!
Have a good time looking at these pictures...with a cup of tea, of course.
