Master Zhou is not just a farmer — he also teaches middle school students in the nearby town of Zhenyuan. Being an active member of the cooperative is his commitment to the protecting present day state of the region, but teaching is part of his commitment to give the younger generation a reason to stay in the countryside and carry on the work of protecting Qianjiazhai’s old growth tea forest for generations to come.
This shu pu’er comes from the family of one of Master Zhou’s students. Gong Ting originally referred to a set of standards for tribute tea, which was part of the old tax system. It is often literally translated to ‘palace grade tea’. Gong Ting pu’er is usually picked earlier in the spring and made from smaller buds. This makes the flavors sweeter and richer than other shu pu’er.
