Yunnan Tou Tea 雲南沱茶

f = 2.5

In the 90s I used to drink this Yunnan Tou tea, 

made from tea leaves of hundred year tea tree on the high mountain in Yunnan.

f = 2.5

Today I realize Tou tea is very friendly to my stomach. 

This fermented tea should offer many health benefits. 

Also, since it is from hundred years old tea tree, it ought to be intrinsically organic.

f = 2

Now I don't find any of these from Chinese herb stores. 

I contemplate on shopping on-line.

  Does it go with fries? Maybe. 

Today I happened to buy a bag of EASY fries.
