茶树虫子少,茶农很少用药,反之秋茶要打很多农药。因此春茶价格比秋茶贵6倍。
我今年2月8日到了姐姐家,买了5公斤绿茶,然后运回到另一个镇(我老公家),后来发现那里没有快递,2月11号就又托姐姐的孩子(邱富基,他在厦门工作
)把茶叶带到厦门。2月13号,我离开福建去了浙江,22日回到北京。2月25日,回到厦门的邱顺基把茶叶快递到北京 |

Hi Kate,
I have someone to bring 5 kgs of green tea from Fujian to Beijing. She told
me the price is 150 RMB per kg, so that is 600 RMB total. OK? I wonder how
you would think about currency—600 RMB of coffee may be quite an
extravagant amount. Perhaps a mixed bag of currencies is in order?
East—> west direction: Maurice goes back to UK on the 11th of April; a
Canadian to Winnipeg in March; will keep ears open for others, especially
direct to US travelers.

Hi Kate,
here are images of the tea farm (not sure if she has transport images).
And one of the reception of the goods brought with Maurice.
How much does that shipment represent the total trade value? The tea trader
said "as much coffee as possible!" It's her family. I will ask her again to
describe the process.
Gotta run, more later!

Hi Kate, handoff has finally taken place, but I don't think Maurice can
take full shipment—so I will keep my eyes out for other traffickers.
Hot chocolate went over very well! Tasty!

kate rich Trader's role confined so far to the money transfer, tea courier requested payment for her family in feral trade coffee. 600 RMB equals give or take 63 GBP, breaks down to 1x olive oil, 1x hot chocolate & 1x cube-cola (delivered); with 1.75kg coffee still to move.
