Yunnan Tea House

Yesterday I felt so much better and we went for some walkls and easy sight seeing. We went to Walmart to get some essentials and then met Juliette and walked through Green Lake Park. We went to this adorable tea house with the most charming couple. The tea house experience was very unexpected and special. They invite you for tea that you drink with them at this amazing carved table. There are several of these places - probably very common. You sip tea and this particular young woman was so gentle and polite, showing us the teas of Yunnan. After you decide your purchase you sit back down and sip more tea and enjoy polite conversation. This lady asked about Aileen's journey and told her about her family who grows tea in a village acouple of hours away. She invited Aileen to visit her family if her journey takes her there. We were probably at this tiny shop for over an hour.





I love this sign. Hey, could you write accurately in Chinese?















Her husband invited me to sit asI was standing outside with Josie. They have a 13 month old daughter. He tried to speak in English and offered Josie an apple and a toy. He called Josie mei mei (little sister.) I love this little family and their tea shop.
