Perfection to a tea

Cultural inheritors of Pu'er in #Yunnan eager to spread the beverage's fame. As the sun rises over his tea plantation in Ning'er county in Pu'er, Yunnan province, Li Xingchang walks around examining the leaves and smelling their aroma. September is harvest time, and Li is treating each tree tenderly, as if it was his own child. The 69-year-old has spent almost four decades planting and making Pu'er "tribute #tea", which was once produced for the exclusive use of the royal family during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Last November, China's traditional tea-processing techniques and their associated social practices were inscribed on the UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Pu'er tea was included on the list. https://bitly.ws/XS2o Follow us: Youtube:    / chinacultureorg   Facebook:   / chinacultureorg   Twitter:   / chinacultureorg   Instagram:   / china_culture   http://en.chinaculture.org
