Travelogue

Travel to the tea gardens

March 31, 2011

We are getting ready to visit India and China to see what nature and the tea workers have made.

We leave on the 10th to visit Darjeeling, then Assam. Then it is off to Hangzhou to taste some great Chinese green teas and then off to Changsha to see what Hunan has done this year.

I am traveling with my tasting buddies Marcus Wulf and Elvira Cardenas. Also my son, Emeric, who manages our SoHo store will be coming.
