Tea Soup Podcast: Episode 34 - Sourcing Jasmine Tea in Sichuan
In this episode, Derek and Alex sit down face to face and talk about one of their most recent tea sourcing trips together: to the Sacred Mountain Emei in Western Sichuan seeking out Jasmine Tea. Alex brings to light a lot of the issues many of the villagers we work with out in Hubei are having with organic and cooperative farming. He also goes in detail about the rather violent and bloody modern history of the Sichuan region in general. We discuss the farmers we meet out in Sichuan and do our best to shatter the rose-tinted glasses people tend to wear when thinking about the rural farmers growing their boutique teas.
As always, any teas we discuss on this podcast are available on the One River Tea website:
onerivertea.com
And the full collection of Sichuan teas acquired mere days before recording this podcast are also available here:

Thank you all for watching, and for your support and solidarity with our mission!
