A friend: lost and found

A few weeks back I nip over to Dongguan city to see Mrs. Yang and the (two) girls at my favorite tea store .. Sunday afternoon place is busy, Mrs Yang’s son and daughter are helping (don’t usually see them working) .. its takes a few minutes, then its hits .. Da Xia is not around.
Long story short, Da Xia is from Fujian, her dad had called her back to work in the family business, tea business!!! Find out she has moved to WuXi (about 2 hr drive from Shanghai) .. I’m scheduled to fly into WuXi in two days, life moves in mysterious ways ....

I get directions to where she is working .. Located in a "locals only" area of WuXi, is a multi level shopping plaza .. ground floor is all tea shops -- approx 20 stores -- all are a combination of wholesale and retail. Focus is on tea ..not so much Pots and paraphernalia.
Da Xia and her little sister:...
The family own a tea garden/plantation in Fujian, the dad is returning to full time tea production, so Da Xia will run the store .. We spend about 2 hrs getting first hand instruction on tea picking and processing, what a fascinating morning. We sample a variety of tieguanyin, all hand processed by the Dad, he describes the subtle process changes he made, and the affects on the final tea. Da Xia tells us stories how as a young girl she picked tea and learned the business, literally, from the ground up .. what a great family, I only hope you get a chance to meet them.
