Let's have a look at Hekai area

Hekai is located South-West of Menghai, it hosts the largest ancient tea gardens in Xishuangbanna. I will show you pictures of those big trees and we'll see what we can learn from the geography of the place.

Thank you for the information. I am excited to order my first set of samples. Your tea will be my first real tea. My goal is to find a couple nice daily drivers with one special occasion tea.

I have a hypothesis about the straight tea trees. In Europe, when we plant hardwood trees like oak and beech, we will plant them very close to eachother to promote vertical growth. Straight stems with the wood grains growing in one direction fetch a lot more money for woodworkers. Now I don’t think the tea trees were planted for that reason but perhaps there were just a lot of young tea trees placed very close to eachother and have since died off. Hence the straight stems

Could the tea trees have been allowed to grow tall by their original growers so animals could be grazed underneath?
