It remains a tea that I don’t get enough of (which will hopefully be remedied in the coming two weeks). My fierce Lahu contact in Xishuangbanna assures me that this will be the case. Hu Kai’s roots, flavours, and understated home here: “Hu Kai – A Tea of the Soul” – sips to come.
The Pulang and Lahu both have a tradition of boiling raw tea leaves...nothing is wasted
