Frost struck earlier this week in Da Yu Ling. Photos are from the 100K Garden. Early predictions are that this spring will yield 20% of what is usually picked from the 100K Garden for the spring harvest.

IMy opinion about these situations is we don't know until everything sorts out. That may sound obvious or trite but reminds people to be calm, which means don't purchase wildly due to anxiety..
Also if we are lucky, there will be excellent gaoshan from somewhere in Taiwan, even if it is not the 100k dayuling in the photograph. Cheers

We're still waiting to see. It seems frost affected gardens in Lishan and DaYuLing, but other harvests are looking good. ShanLinXi was harvested last week and looks very promising.
As for availability, we will either be able to carry it or we won't get any this year. We only carry a small amount of 100K each year anyways, so if we do receive any, it will be the same small amount at the same price.

Almost certainly. Unless they make an unfair exception...Shine Magical wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 4:17 pmAfter 3 years, will the garden be destroyed by the government?

In the end, I think an intact and safe eco system is more important than tea. Especially given that slightly lower grown teas is almost the same in taste... so I think in the end it doesn’t matter that much.jason19870313 wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 1:53 amIt is pity to closeBok wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 7:07 pmAlmost certainly.

It is easy to get obsessed with conceptions. We may believe that the best tea may come from the highest altitudes of tea-growing; or it comes from old trees, etc. Also "the best" (not for tea alone) may just be calling for us unreasonably.
1. The last time that I spent a lot of time in Tainan to taste very seriously (10 days of 1 or 2 sessions lasting hours) it was all done blind. I did not have any background information for the teas. So, of course, all that mattered was perceptions. It reinforced what Bok said, that differences can be quite small. Additionally, an individual may prefer some teas that not considered to be the best to teas that are.
2. A lot of tea comes from very high altitudes in Nepal. Much of it has been grown on land that was never farmed with chemcials. This virgin land at 2200-2600 meters high seems so ideal for great organic tea. However, so many harvests are a disappointment. (I don't ask my source for white tea to find me tea from any specific spot, just for tea that has the desired flavor & characteristics.)
3. If we are not searching for the best tea of each season, & realize that we will be fine …. what do we work on? If we have enough teaware & know how to prepare tea well, is there even less to worry about? What do we do with all that former concern?
