Someone was doubt if I was female. I am FEMALE!

Workers were picking tea, only the buds were selected.

Tea leaves in the basket were the picked ones. All these were the buds then in early spring.

The buds of the tea trees as mentioned above~

The shop assistant of Yang Xian Tea Company showed us both black and red teas, both in two different kinds.

Two different types of Yi Xing Black tea in colors, shapes, the ways of making them, aroma. The friend liked the left one, while I like the right one.

One of the green tea, delicious~ It smells so nice!

The following pumpkin teapots are my father's new work which are very very difficult to make. I just post to show the beautiful work instead of selling them. In fact, they are already been ordered by someone.

Here is more details.

This is almost the same teapot but with the handle like "gantry". I forgot to mention that the teapot has a big volume, maybe 400 ml. Also, I will show the pot in zi ni clay since my father said he would try this pot in purple clay.

Lovely pots.

Oh wow--I normally am not a huge fan of the gourd-styled pots, but that one is very lovely. I really like the fine attention to detail in the leaves and the handle!

The leaves are made from a mold, but the details of the leaves are totally made by hand. Also, the stems of the pumpkin and the insect on the lid is handmade.
