Beijing's Tea City

Some people think that Beijing does not have the best tea in China. What they lack in quality is made up in sheer quantity. Diana and I recently took a trip out to "Tea City" in Beijing, holy moly, that's about all I can say.

I love riding, I need to do it more often.

Making Green Tea

Although I'm not a fan of green tea it sure is interesting to watch it being made.

There is absolutely no reason for this video.. none at all.

Fountain of Youth

I'm not really sure what they said except "Splash it on your face, arms, and legs".

10 Weddings

Jacob Redding — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:00:00 +0000

Chinese people have a very different take on weddings that we do in the western. The first major difference is that they are injecting a *lot* of western style into the traditional eastern wedding. Dresses are now more traditional western white than traditional eastern red and the ceremonies are more church-ish than, again, traditional. It doesn't, however, stop them from doing the traditions of the past. During our recent trip to Hangzhou we ran across several weddings performing the "Traditional" customs en-masse.

Sitting in a single place we saw 10 different weddings occurring at the exact same time, going further up the hill or around the are we ran across several more. In total I think we saw 15 weddings occurring all within walking distance of each other and in most cases, queuing up for the same picture/ride/ceremony. In-ter-est-ing.

Self Respecting Tea Field

I think the title says it all.

Dragon Well Tea Fields

While in Hangzhou we snuck around the Dragon well tea fields. I have to say it was actually pretty cool and it did make me want to drink more tea. You should see our tea cabinet now, its quite full, oh hey, by the way, we have a tea cabinet. Isn't that crazy?
