Nantou | Oolong Tea Plantation | July 24 2011


Our bus, fully equipped with karaoke for a 9 am rock out session.
The tea collecting baskets. 

Mr Yang, my friend who organized the trip of about 40 people. 
He was shocked at my dress and flip-flops. Clearly he is ready for some real hiking! 

The tea.

Cilin Lake

Orange moss, green tea. 


Pruning the shoots to get more usable leaves. 
Only the first 3 leaves are ever picked for tea. 


 She is sorting the highest quality leaves from the lower.

 Lucky kitty watches over the temple. 

 Old pots that were once used to pickle vegetables. 

Huge coy. Maybe 24" long. 

In the mirror you can see the our group walking up the hill. 

Workers hats and the one with the horizontal lines is actually an old rain jacket.
