Traditions of tea

Traditions of tea

We visited Pingling outside of Taipei in Taiwan. Our hosts were 3 generations of tea growers and merchants of Wenshan Baozhong Oolong. Also we were with George Shu our tea exporter whose family also has been in tea for 3 generations. And Marcus Wulf our second generation tea merchant. We like to say that us Harneys are a blend of 2 families that have been in tea for 6 generations. And Elvira Cardenas is a first generation tea taster  .

So if you add it all up this group represents 15 generations of tea.  So you can count on us.
