Pude haber nacido Chino y estar en este momento cosechando té en majestuosas montañas, aportando a la nueva modernidad socialista. en cambio estoy en este bello pais lleno de gente horrible y apunto de ser gobernado por un pablo escobar corroncho y una panda de degenerados.

The world's first cup of tea may have come from this mountainous region in southwest China. Yunnan Province and its surrounding areas have long been regarded as the birthplace of the tea plant. Recently, a genomic study published in Nature Genetics offered further evidence to support this view. After analyzing 1,325 Camellia samples, researchers found that southwest China was likely a key region in the origin and domestication of tea plants. Pu'er tea has been one of China's most popular teas over the past two decades. Compared with green tea and black tea, it is made from larger leaves and undergoes microbial fermentation during processing. In 2023, the Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain (景迈山) was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The tea trees here are not newly planted for tourism. Instead, they are part of a way of life that has continued for more than a thousand years, where forests, villages, tea gardens and people coexist on the same mountain. Some shade trees are preserved to provide the diffused light that tea plants prefer. In the old tea forests, trees such as osmanthus and camphor are either retained or planted, giving the tea forest more natural aromas while also helping suppress certain pests and diseases. In this living landscape, tea trees grow under taller forest trees, receiving the soft, diffused light they prefer. Osmanthus, camphor and other trees add natural aromas to the forest while helping keep pests away. Fallen leaves enrich the soil. Birds and insects help protect the tea trees. This natural farming method helps maintain the ecological balance of the old tea forests. Through this under-forest cultivation system, tea trees grow vigorously within a three-dimensional forest ecosystem. Over 5,000 people, primarily Blang and Dai ethnicities, are living in this mountain today. The Blang people are known for their tea-growing skills. You can even see tea-leaf decorations on their rooftops. By contrast, Dai (whose language and lifestyles share tremendous similarities with people in Thailand) rooftops are often decorated with ox-horn-shaped ornaments. The mountains in the distance mark the border with Myanmar. The taste of Pu'er is too strong for me. But it is that one cup can hold an entire landscape: forest, borderland, people, and more than a thousand years of living with nature.
