Issue #102: Green Tea 2020 Season Has Arrived!
- As you might know, some of our best teas (Longjing, Anji, Biluochan etc) are produced in the prosperous provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Tea production has unfortunately reduced sharply due to the weather. In the case of HQ's tea garden in Shifeng Mountain, West Lake, it was down as much as one-third, which is pretty bad.
You see, these premium Chinese tea buds are not machine harvested. Laborers travelled from the poorer northern provinces to help with the tea picking season. It is a costly exercise. Labour cost has risen sharply in China in recent years and you need to pay for the transport, food and lodging. Unfortunately weather didn't cooperate and turned cold towards the end of the picking window. In any case, we have somehow managed to maintain our prices this year. Long term customers will know we haven't hiked prices for a while now. Please take advantage while it lasts.

Issue #98: Green Tea Season 2019 Has Arrived - and it's Good!
The 2019 green tea season is upon us and yes - it is goooood. Temperature has remained low during early spring, allowing the tea buds to grow slowly and picked off in an orderly fashion.
It is certainly not in the same league as the 2016 ("Best in Five Years!") or 2015 ("One of the Best"), but certainly better than 2017 ("Heavy Rainfall") and 2018 ("Warming up too quickly").

Issue #97: Trade War and Nostalgia
As a tea seller who lives in the UK and sells tea out of China for the last 12 years, I have to say this: "Make hay when the sun shine!"
"Good things don't last forever" and as far as world-class chinese teas are concerned, it'll get harder and harder to come by. We need to appreciate what we have today.
The topic of the day - of course - is the US-China trade war. It has the potential to derail and totally destroy this business. Why? Because most of our customers are based in the USA. Significant changes in tariff and international postal tariff would greatly increase the cost of our American consumers, making the business unviable.
