One of the adorable moments during our trip...
We were making Classic TungTing Oolong.........

Jerry, didn't you smell it? Those Camellia sinensis leaves after solar withering, were moved indoor for the additional indoor withering...every 1 hour or half subject to the weather condition...these soft touches made our tea so good in aro...ma and taste...See More

2010 WTE - Reunion Party for TOST 2008/2009 Members (6/2010)

Our members of TOST 2008 and 2009 get to meet up for a reunion party during World Tea Expo 2010. It is always very joyful to share good memory among all that studied together on the field trips...

Scouting for 2010 TOST

I made a trip to Taiwan during 3/22-28/2010 for scouting the possible facilities for our members of TOST 2010 to have their hands on tea making experiment. Also to discuss in details on our itinerary of each day during the event with Master Huang, Chairman Norman Shu and Secretary General Ted Fan from TTMA.

Hearty appreciation to their assistance, we visited a few places and checked out several locations, concluded our focused courses... We are making sure that TOST 2010 will be even better than previous ones.
