Rock bone, floral scent —
a question of geology.
The danxia rock ravines of Wuyi, the sandy soils of West Lake, the high bamboo slopes of Tongmu, the cloud-wrapped altitude of Wudong — every Mulan line begins with the name of a mountain.
In low-mountain tea, the aroma stays in the nose. In high-mountain tea, it reaches the throat. To read the mountain is to read the cup.
