张殿李Another weekend with decent weather. Another photo essay about tea. Another queue-jumper of a tea. This is because of the tea's name and the fact it comes from near my old stomping grounds in 江西 (Jiāngxī).
OK, maybe not so near. 遂川 (Suìchuān) is in southwest Jiangxi and I lived in the northeast in 九江 (Jiǔjiāng). Wuhan is closer to my old stomping grounds than Suichuan is.
But the name. That name! 狗牯脑绿茶 (Gǒugǔnǎo lǜchá or "Dog Brain Green Tea") is just a hilarious name to me. (It's named after a local mountain that is said to resemble a dog's head.) It's a high mountain "cloud and mist" tea. It's relatively famous in China, but likely not heard of outside of this nation.
Personally I still prefer 庐山云雾茶 (Lúshān yúnwù chá) from my old stomping grounds (at the foot of Lushan) but this is a very nice tea and I'll probably be getting more, since it's from the Hakka people.
As a detailed look at a "cloud and mist" tea I'll be able to highlight both the category's strengths and weaknesses. This is an almost emblematic instance of such a tea, after all.

Wu Wanjing is head of #Xinyu (a city in east China's #Jiangxi Province) Xiabu #EmbroideryArt Research Institute. As a municipal-level inheritor of xiabu (literally "cloth for summer") embroidery #crafts, she has led her team in inheriting and promoting the art form for years. "I think xiabu embroidery is not only a #TraditionalHandicraft, but also an expression of #culture. I hope my work will help people #learn about the craft. I will always do my best to develop intangible cultural heritage," Wu says.
#Xiabu, a traditional #handmade #textile, is made from #China #grass, also known as #ramie. The linen is comfortable, durable and easy to wash. Xinyu has a long #history of both planting ramie and producing xiabu. Xiabu #embroidery is a unique type of embroidery in Jiangxi. In 2014, #China added #XiabuEmbroidery to an extended list of the country's items of intangible #CulturalHeritage.

#H6N2 #reassortant avian #influenza virus isolate in wild #birds in #Jiangxi Province, #China, Virus Genes: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11262-024-02068-5

SpringerLinkH6N2 reassortant avian influenza virus isolate in wild birds in Jiangxi Province, China - Virus GenesH6 avian influenza virus is widely prevalent in wild birds and poultry and has caused human infection in 2013 in Taiwan, China. During our active influenza surveillance program in wild waterfowl at Poyang Lake, Jiangxi Province, an H6N2 AIV was isolated and named A/bean goose/JiangXi/452-4/2013(H6N2). The isolate was characterized as a typical low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) due to the presence of the amino acid sequence PQIETR↓GLFGAI at the cleavage site of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein. The genetic evolution analysis revealed that the NA gene of the isolate originated from North America and exhibited the highest nucleotide identity (99.29%) with a virus recovered from wild bird samples in North America, specifically A/bufflehead/California/4935/2012(H11N2). Additionally, while the HA and PB1 genes belonged to the Eurasian lineage, they displayed frequent genetic interactions with the North American lineage. The remaining genes showed close genetic relationships with Eurasian viruses. The H6N2 isolate possessed a complex genome, indicating it is a multi-gene recombinant virus with genetic material from both Eurasian and North American lineages.

One of my favorite double-boiled Jiangxi jar soups features fruit in a leading role. Small jars filled with snow pear, minced pork, and water are sealed with foil, then stacked in a giant ceramic vat over heaped coals. Over 8 hours, the indirect heat coaxes out flavor and nutrients while keeping everything tender. The pear slices dissolve in the mouth like wintermelon. Kudos to this fruit for bridging the sweet-savory divide. #JarSoup #SnowPear #Jiangxi #China #ChineseFood #雪梨 #瓦罐汤 #江西菜 #中国
This is #庐山云雾茶 (#LuShan #CloudAndMist #tea) from my first stomping grounds in #China: #江西省九江市 (#Jiujiang, #Jiangxi). It was here that I stumbled over a tea shop run by a guy who owned his own #plantation in #庐山区 (Lushan District) and where I began to find out that everything I thought I knew about tea was a tiny, tiny, tiny tip of a very, very, very tall mountain of information. I'd visit him weekly, taste his teas (both those he produced himself and those he got from elsewhere) and learned a lot about how to prepare and assess teas (mostly greens and wulongs).
I even went up to his plantation a few times and, for a lark, tried to process my own tea from picking to packaging one time. All I got out of that was calloused fingers and a sore back from picking, blistered fingers from the wok, and about a kilogram of tea that was ... not very good. It had a distinct burnt flavour. (I was told it wasn't bad for a first, untrained try—it was at least green and not browned, and the liquor came out the right colour—but it was still a disappointment.)
I still occasionally pick up tea from 庐山 just out of a sense of reminiscence. I'm still currently working through my Emeishan tea; when I crack the seal on this I'll share again with a picture of the dried leaves, the unfurled post-brew leaves and the liquor.
