Sheng of the day today was gift set sheng. Only thing unusual (besides being great) was that much of the cooling sensation got to my nose, and it was cold at my desk, so...
I did some idle searching for where this Pu Zheng tea could be sourced from. My current unwarranted speculation is that it's not actually from Si Mao (Pu Erh), but from Ji Liang county to the north. I made the judgement because there are other place names that are similar to DaShiSi--Naxi type name, I gather. It's incredibly difficult to keep place names and administrative counties and prefectures names in context. I mean, I associated wuliang as a subset of jinggu tea, which wouldn't be right, as those buds are pretty far north close to the original 6ftms. The bamboo mountain teas are from Nin'ger county but not mojiang county closest to the Yiwu area even though we think of them as Yiwu outlier teas. Some of these places seem really far from one another...Luxi in Dehong is really far away from Guafengzhai, for example...
maps are fun, and I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about Li Jiang, but hell, it sounds like a great place to visit as a tourist so...
