Read beside the source

The tea plant is Camellia sinensis. Kew describes several processing stages used for its leaves, including rolling and drying. A plant name alone does not identify a tea’s producer or method.

Keep the context

A particular cultural landscape and its institutional description. Tea Ancestor beliefs are recorded beliefs; this is not evidence of a plant’s supernatural or health effects.

A question for your own kitchen

Keep the producer’s name, tea label and brewing directions with your tasting notes. The Jingmai folio describes a landscape; it does not certify the origin of an untraced packet of tea.
