Biographies of Tea Masters (28)

A is a northerner, around fifty years old, not in the tea business, but has been drinking tea for many years. He is a seasoned tea addict and a well-known aged Pu'er tea connoisseur in his northern city. A group of people surround A, learning tea from him. This time, A was entrusted by several tea friends, carrying over 300,000 yuan, to come to Menghai to make pure old tree tea from Laobanzhang.

A arrived a few days early, as the old tree tea in Laobanzhang had not yet been harvested in large quantities. So A visited various tea shops in Menghai, and met a young ethnic minority woman, Yang Meinv. They hit it off immediately. Yang Meinv was very forthright, and A was not shy either. During the day, Yang Meinv drove A around the tea mountains. Laobanzhang was a must-visit, and they also went to Hekai, Banpen, Laoman'e, Pasha, Nannuo Mountain, Huazhuliangzi, Naka, and other famous mountains in Menghai. They even made a quick tour of Jingmai Mountain and the Yiwu tea region nearby. In the evenings, Yang Meinv would invite a group of friends, mostly beautiful women, to show A the exotic customs of Menghai. They would first go to KTV and then have barbecue. A was well-fed and drunk every day, returning home satisfied.

From the very first day they met, A and Yang Meinv had been flirting ambiguously. After two days of touring tea mountains and two late-night snacks, they ended up in bed together. For a while, it was all harmony and romance, full of affection. Yang Meinv was truly a lovely person. During these days, A was in high spirits and felt no fatigue anywhere. They were inseparable, touring tea mountains, hanging out in karaoke bars, and having barbecues. A felt that his spring had come again.

On the seventh day, A remembered clearly, it was his seventh day in Menghai. Yang Meinv drove a pickup truck, carrying three boxes of loose sun-dried mao tea, and moved them to A's hotel room, saying they were the Laobanzhang tea she had prepared for A. A could only pretend to be nonchalant, hastily tasting the tea, and then transferred over 300,000 yuan to Yang Meinv.

A went back the next day, and I haven't heard of A coming to Menghai since.
