I have tried many of the local teas--each mountain has its own flavor range and aficionados, with the high-altitude plants always being of the highest quality, and with special grades depending on the picking times and conditions of the smallest leaves.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-89639793893580529492021-04-13T13:23:58.429-04:002021-04-13T13:23:58.429-04:00Dearest Travis,

That is being created by fermentation and further processing those leaves. But lush and green it is on the Belt of Emerald, right on the Equator and in the Ring of Fire with all those active volcanoes. But one gets used to that, humans can 'erupt' even more vicious at times...<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-86417363283636269512021-04-13T13:16:38.125-04:002021-04-13T13:16:38.125-04:00So Lush And Green - What An Experience - And No, N...So Lush And Green - What An Experience - And No, Never Been To A Tea Plantation - Would Bet There Is A Very Rich Smell To The Air - Was 1986 Really That Long Ago??
