There were no mushrooms, but out of habit we scanned the ground and unexpectedly found small, firm pine nuts. They were plump and fresh, as if they had just fallen from a pine cone. We cracked one open, and it had a strong resinous aroma, different from the usual cream-cooked pine nuts. I sat there, finding more pine nuts, reluctant to leave. Looking for pine nuts is a bit like picking mushrooms - once you find the first one, the rest will follow. Over time, you become sensitive to their shapes and colors, and collecting them one by one is a relaxing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Our team introduction:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Our mushroom picking group consists of six girls, namely, Weed Jing, Yan Zi, Xiao Min, Wan Wan, Li Zhen Hao and Elephant.

Join us for a mountain adventure!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years ago, while walking on Cang Mountain, I came across a patch of wild tea. The unattended tea trees had grown much taller than me. It was April, the perfect time for tea buds to sprout, and they were so tempting that I used my shirt jacket to carry some home, dried them naturally on a bamboo tray, and turned them into white tea. In this sense, picking wild tea was probably my first gateway to understanding Cang Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Picking wild tea is a kind of mountain game, a rustic pleasure. When you focus on finding something in the mountains, that feeling of being both focused and mentally free is quite fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter picking tea, we will have a tea break together in the pine forest overlooking Erhai Lake. The tea break will be prepared by us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfterward, we will take responsibility for bringing back the tea leaves everyone collected, drying them at home, turning them into white tea, and then mailing them to everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packaging box for the tea is displayed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you also want to join us in climbing the mountain to pick wild tea, here’s what you need to know: Wild tea trees are untended and scattered throughout the forest. We search for them one by one, like playing hide-and-seek, and then pluck their buds. It's not easy—I once spent an entire day collecting just one jin (500 grams) of tea. If your only goal is to pick enough tea worth 288 yuan to take home, it might not be the most suitable activity for you 😄.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/98A0711F-5A19-4AE3-B438-99C699B59FB2.jpg?v=1743756477\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/C7DE7B3D-8378-41B0-8CD5-A488D606F88A.jpg?v=1743757754\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/09507AD9-FEA0-4AC1-B9E6-7B7F4DC48C48.jpg?v=1743756477\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/7FB5EB5C-156D-4635-BF9E-FC634B88CF13.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/7F133411-A60D-4F54-AE13-4297B1A058B9.jpg?v=1743756477\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/9460A27A-A588-4BD0-ABF3-6A2CE3DD65CD.jpg?v=1743756478\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/AE7A5F07-4F60-484F-9C03-B80257DCBCAB.jpg?v=1743756478\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/DEC987BC-7D23-4157-81B9-0943E9E1007D.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/773FB02D-8632-4636-86A7-C1A6A462874A.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/89623768-1324-4743-BE94-AE8FE72A1237.jpg?v=1743756477\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/7666E3C6-509E-4542-8231-E5268C921D2A.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/77699DE5-43AA-407E-93B9-6703412A83E7.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/194A5888-ED12-4404-B234-20CB3E7C0A3D.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/767FE409-6E96-4E5A-8478-46CCE28102B4.jpg?v=1743756478\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/C3119A5F-B906-4D32-BFC4-12A20F5BD815.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/4206EE37-210E-4D7C-ACA2-102A5458585A.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/6300351C-14FA-474B-B79F-483CE71BF88A.jpg?v=1743756477\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/0C6A3574-D07A-401C-BF65-75A1494ABB66.jpg?v=1743767352\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/9C666AC6-5EF2-4FBC-A19A-F5E958CD9C99.jpg?v=1743767352\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali Experience Community","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44890488930460,"sku":null,"price":298.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b98506fc-1034-410b-96cf-89ce5b96d3a4.jpg?v=1743839990"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/collections\/29fb15464a2405e70a3a22ffafd4d4ff.jpg?v=1740602617","url":"https:\/\/qcwwsq-qi.myshopify.com\/en\/collections\/gathering-in-forest.oembed","provider":"Dali Experience Community","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
