Cherishing the gifts of ancestors

China Daily  

Ethnic groups enjoy a good harvest in their tea plantations nestled on the Erlong Mountain in Pu'er city, Yunnan province. At a garden located halfway up Jingmai Mountain in Lancang Lahu autonomous county, Pu'er city, Yunnan province — an area that boasts the biggest ancient tea tree plantations in China — Su Guowen grabs a handful of drying tea from the ground, smells it and knows immediately that it is not ready. Su is a 40th-generation tribal leader of the Blang people, an ethnic group that has cultivated and utilized tea trees for more than 1,800 years. Besides the Blang, other ethnic groups living in the area — including the Dai, Hani and Va — also hold rituals to worship their own "tea tree spirits" and ancestors.
