In the golden October, with clear skies and crisp air, we were truly honored to invite our esteemed key clients to join us on a beautiful journey to Huizhou's Boluo Luofu Mountain, renowned as the "First Mountain in Lingnan." This experience seamlessly blended nature, tea culture, and Hakka traditions. It was not merely a business exchange but a heartfelt connection and cultural resonance.
At dawn, Luofu Mountain was veiled in a thin mist, its tea plantations lush and layered, with the refreshing scent of vegetation filling the air. Guided by professional tea artisans, we donned small bamboo baskets and transformed into "tea farmers" for a day, delving into the ecological tea gardens. Our clients were full of praise for the surroundings and, following the tea farmers' demonstrations, carefully harvested the tender autumn tea shoots—each with one bud and two leaves. In that moment of touching the tea leaves, it felt as if we were connecting with the season's vibrant pulse. Amid laughter and joy, everyone not only experienced the delight of picking tea but also gained a deeper understanding of the unique qualities of autumn tea, known for its "high aroma and mellow taste," shaped by the significant temperature variations between day and night.
After tea picking, we moved to a quaint, traditional tea workshop. Under the careful guidance of tea masters, everyone took part in the entire tea-making process—from spreading and withering the leaves to fixing, rolling, and drying them. The clients showed great interest in the skill of "adjusting techniques based on the leaves' condition," personally feeling the transformation of the tea leaves in the warm wok. As the fresh tea leaves took shape in their hands and released a rich aroma, a sense of accomplishment filled the room. This was more than just a tea-making experience; it was a profound dialogue about patience, craftsmanship, and nature.
The most anticipated part—the tea tasting—took place in a serene tea room. We brewed the freshly made autumn tea that everyone had personally crafted. The liquor was a bright yellow-green, with a subtle and lasting fragrance. Raising our cups together, we savored the mellow and lingering taste. While appreciating Luofu Mountain's distinctive tea charm, we engaged in lively discussions about industry insights and future collaborations. In such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, our bonds deepened, much like the rich infusion in our cups.
In the afternoon, we arranged an authentic Hakka culinary feast. The savory and crispy salt-baked chicken, the tender and flavorful stuffed tofu, the rich and hearty preserved mustard green with braised pork... each classic Hakka dish not only delighted the palate but also allowed us to vividly share the history and culture of the Hakka people—their migration, struggles, and integration. Throughout the meal, everyone praised the distinctive "salty, fragrant, and rich" characteristics of Hakka cuisine, calling it a "cultural journey for the taste buds."
What truly moved us was the thoughtful gesture of our clients, who presented us with specialties from their hometowns. This unexpected gift carried their deep affection and appreciation for the event. We gladly accepted it, deeply valuing this meaningful connection.
Though the day was short, the bonds formed will last. This autumn tea cultural journey at Luofu Mountain concluded beautifully amid the rich aroma of tea, delicious Hakka dishes, and shared laughter. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, not only strengthening business ties but also building trust akin to friendship.
We firmly believe that the best partnerships are those where we uplift one another, much like the autumn tea and Hakka charm, growing richer and more profound over time. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and sharing the sweet taste of success together in the future!
