Because the crop yield is so low this year many of the farmers that would harvest their commercially grown fields are now looking elsewhere. In other words they are diving deeper into wild beyond the regularly planted crops and going back to find tea plants that were once harvested regularly but the tea plants were left once they stopped producing good leaves. This time allowed the tea plants to rest and develop the natural soil again which created a new focus for farmers this year. Many farmers in Southern Mountains in China are picking just what nature has provided are seeing tremendous results with the taste and monetary value.

This reminds me of the true the sense that we may do our best to plan, to organize and to overstock but nature has a wonderful and sometimes mystical way of showing that the what we need is really out there. In some cases more than we know we just have to look for it. Unfortunately the time for lucking is sparked in our lives by running out of options and making the most of what we got. If this lesson of what is provided in nature is true then let the taste and experience of the wild tea plant such as Wild Honey Sprout and White Monkey Picked be the reminder of our own natural potential.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time is a riveting story about how Greg’s goal to climb Pakistan’s mountain K2 ultimately led him to a small village in Pakistan. He needed care, and the people of this village healed his body and his heart. After seeing the local children playing and drawing in the dirt with no school to go to, Greg set his mind to build a school for the village, named Korphe. As of last year, Mortenson has established over 78 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which provide education for over 28,000 children, including 18,000 girls, where few education opportunities existed before.

This was apparently an attack on Federal spending.

A scary one at that… A postcard could have made a statement as well.

Regardless of ones views…why waste good tea as a political statement?
