In this episode we hike through the Dongting Mountain south east of Lake Tai right by the modern city of Suzhou. We are seeking the ancestral home of the Biluochun green tea, and find its heirloom bushes mixed in this slightly acidic soil with a plethora of fruit trees and other vegetation. We talk through the processing of this curled and fluffy tea, which is entirely made in a wok, which in the best instances is heated by a wood flame. Enjoy this deep dive into one of China’s most unique and iconic green teas!
