[quote=LEOPOLD219,282471]Do you know Pu'er Tea? It has become very famous in China now. According to the statistics, the price of Pu'er Tea in 2007 was above 1000 yuan every kilogram on the market. For customers, it was bad news. However, those farmers who plant tea in Yunnan Province have gain a lot. Zha Ge, a 19 years old guy buys him a a 20-inch television set, a motorcycle and a copy of his favorite foreign film, "First Blood," the first in the Rambo series.

"In a hilltop village called Manmai, a few dozen kilometers from China's border with Myanmar, the wealth from the Pu'er tea boom is trickling down. The village headman, Zha Pagu, has never traveled more than 50 kilometers, or 30 miles, from his house during his 60 plus years (he can't remember his exact age) but his home now has a solar water heater and his neighbors are upgrading their wood and thatch homes with modern building materials like tiles and concrete.

Until recently the village was accessible only by foot. A long and winding dirt road that climbs up the mountain is now under construction, but the village remains relatively isolated."----Excerpted from the International Herald Tribune.
