Tea More Expensive Than Gold - Landscape Photography
Longjing is a an area close to west lake in the western parts of Hangzhou. The area is filled with these beautiful fields of the famous Long Jing Tea. They call it the Tea for emperors and long jing mean dragon well.
According to one story people used to go to the towns well and pray as it was believed a dragon lived there which could give them rain and help for a prosperous harvest.
In China it is very popular to give Tea as a gift. Depending on the times the Tea is picked and in which area it grows the price can range tremendously. Long Jing Tea is one of the most famous teas and if it is picked before Qingming Festival in early April you should be ready to have a thick wallet. The auction price can hit up to 360,000 yuan (US$57,000) per kilo, thus making it more expensive than gold.
Personally I wouldn't mind being given some of this Tea as a present. I would try to find the first person willing to switch it for bitcoins hehe
And here we all are in the crypto world trying to make some money when apparently tea is the real deal :O Would really love to taste some of it one day. Great photos anyway! :)
Exact that is where the real money is made haha . They have potcoin. Maybe Teacoin would be good ?
Haha, omg! Patent it before someone else steals your idea! I'm sure with a lot of hard work you could make it happen :D
Haha awesome already our first interested customer ! We will send you a free batch for testing when we make it
Yes! That's perfect haha!
I like the little tree in the first photographs
Me too it looks so iconic standing there all alone
Im a tea lover but that is really expensive!
Yes even if I would ever get enough money to buy something like that I could never do it. Inthink that money would have been better spent on charity and then buy some normal Lipton Tea
Thats indeed better.:-)
Wonderful photos. When I visited China I was really impressed about the way they appreciate tea. It's really awesome and the varieties they have their are of super quality.
It's definitely a part of the culture here
It is very famous and expensive tea in China!
It is really very famous and so expensive!
What a beautiful area and WOW that is surely some expensive tea, kind of makes me glad i am not a tea drinker lOL
Hahaa yea it's insane ! I Guess it's a status thing.
Could well be how somehtings become so valuable is still beyond my understanding i have to admit
LOL i am still confused about Bitcoin for that Kayte r
Yea man it is a bit crazy to say the least :) we are lucky to be in the center of this craziness haha
From the outside it probably looks more crazy
I have read a lot of Chinese news. But such a news has not been read before me. Thank you for sharing this news among us. @dandesign
Glad you liked it ! It's kind of crazy 😜I would never drink such expensive Tea ☕️
I agree with you @dandesign
Great colour!
Now that’s some pricy tea!
Hopefully we can learn to brew beer that can be sold for the Same price
I like that idea! It would have to be fairly small batch and unique in some way.... let’s do it!
Hehe why not ! We just have to come up with a good name. Make it sound expensive. Bitbeer? Could that work ?
I like the way it rolls off the tongue... I’ve heard of a German beer ‘BitBurger’... BitBeer is a better name for a brew in my opinion...
We are already millionaires, we just have to brew it and come up with a logo ! Maybe u get one coin when you buy it ? It's hidden under the capsule
We brew a ton of beers. Each one has a qr code under the cap with a bit of bitcoin. Most have only a few satoshis... but 1 beer has 1 full bitcoin... Charge $1K for a 6 pack and make a shit load of them...
