Perfect taste of tradition, brewed in a stream
China DailyXian Jin and her boyfriend Ding Zhixiong utilize the internet and social media to promote the tea and ethnic culture of their hometown in Lancang county, Yunnan province. Xian is a member of the Dai ethnic group in the village of Nuogang on Jingmai Mountain, where one of the world's oldest and largest cultivated tea forests is located. Indeed Xian is one of the few young people in the village who has stepped foot in big cities, including Kunming, capital of Yunnan, and Shenzhen, Guangdong province, where Xian learned a lot of what she knows about Chinese tea culture, the art of tea making and tea tasting. Ai Sailuan, leader of the Dai ethnic group in the area, says Xian has set a good example on spreading tea culture and has thus given a fillip to the tea industry there.
