November 2007 China trip…
It was a state honour to be in Fujian first at Quanzhou and then at Anxi, Fuzhou and Wuyishan and later at Guangzhou, where I got the answer to my questions and key to sucess. In all a grand trip and we returned on 27th after 13 days since begining the trip on 14th November 2007 with Sanyog Tamang.
We also went to Anxi where a seminar was arranged by China Tea Marketing Association and we were lucky to see the Bama tea factory, probably the most modern one in China. Three pretty ladies from France, Barbara, Katrin and Ceil were with me on this trip.
It is Wuyishan, from where Robert Fortune took tea to India thru Fuzhou port in 1830s. Got the documentary evidences of that from a Lapsang Souchong tea maker family who are here since 24 generations, meaning involvement with Wuyi teas since last 500 years.
Attended Guangdong Tea Expo at Guangzhou with Lydia, who shall arrange QS and packaging of our products, which shall be marketed in China. Vincent Ngai, Ms. Xiao Juan and Li Hai Yang were with me virtually for the whole trip. We also met Kings Tea & Blue Lake Foods people.
