A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ

Story & history

Lushan Yunwu green tea

This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.

Yunwu means clouds and mist, but this name identifies Lushan's tea tradition, not every tea grown in a misty place. Local leaf shaping and drying help define its character.
