Fountain of Youth Found

Hello blog readers!
I haven't contributed to the blog in a long time, thankfully, Bill has been picking up the slack. My Mom came to visit us for two weeks and this weekend, we took a one-day trip to Hangzhou (Bill will share in a separate post). As part of the tour, we visited a tea producing region: Dragon-well tea. As we walked through the tea museum, our tea expert showed us the tea making process, ending in a tea tasting experience. Here is how it went down:

All seven of us on the tour went into a tea room and the doors were shut. Our tea expert call himself "Dr. Tea" because he's such a tea expert, it's equivalent to a PhD in tea. During the tea tasting session we learned the following about green tea:
-how it's made
-how to drink tea
-how to tell the difference between good and bad tea
-it prevents constipation and aids in digestion
-it keeps you slim (Dr. Tea states there are no fat people in China)
-it prevents cancer(Dr. Tea states Chinese people only have lung cancer due to smoking)
-it keeps you healthy and everyone lives much longer (it's true - Dr. Tea said so)

We also learned the following about Dr. Tea:
-he professes himself as Dr. Tea b/c everyone thinks he's THE tea expert
-he's been working for the Government as the tea quality officer for 10 years
-whenever Martin Yan is in town, he cooks for Martin (has his own cooking show)
-he's entertained top US government officials with his tea expertise

The doors did not open until someone from the group bought some Dragon-well tea. Typically, we would've taken a picture of Dr. Tea and the tea tasting experience, but I was afraid that his head might explode and he'll start charging us for photos and autographs.
