Eastern Tea Club, Chapter 2: Yìwǔ 易武
We descend the gentle slopes of Nannuo and cross the Mekong River heading east: it is the end of the rainy season and the roads are more bumpy than ever, yet the valleys that surround us are breathtaking. We reach a strip of land that borders Laos: its main city is the ancient Yiwu, and here we see the golden sunset over its surrounding peaks.

Brewing these leaves you can expect to dive into the three main areas of yiwu: the floral, the honey, and the wild one, in addition to Manzhuan, the western side of Yiwu and a fellow among the Qing dynasty tributary ancient mountains.
Together with the shipment you will find extensive content on the ancient and modern history of the area, geography and culture; you will then have access to a reserved community area where we continue to upload new contents, and you can share your own tasting notes, observations, and travel stories.
After all members of the club receive their samples, we will schedule an online webinar through Zoom of the duration of one hour to taste some of the samples together and tell you more about each village, sharing experiences and tasting notes.

Online webinar

Every member will receive the code for the meeting, together with details on the specific date and time, via email.
