It’s a gift from my friend.
A brick tea with special packaging, All post marks of the Tea-horse Ancient Road.
“But the tea inside is not good one, it’s just a keepsake, you know.” my friend said.

Tea-horse Ancient Road always a mystery to me.

That’s an ancient pathway more than 4,000 kilometers through the Chinese hinterlands and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. through this pathway, commodities like tea, salt and sugar flowed into Tibet. horses, cows, furs, musk and other local products found their way to the outside world. But, It’s also one of the hardest ways in the world. only few people and their horses could control all the troubles on this road.

This kind of situation lasted for thousands of years. the Tea-horse Ancient Road has developed a special kind of local economy, and a special kind of culture.

Tea-horse Ancient Road is somewhat commercialized now, It’s not only one of the most important travel hot spots of YunNan, but also appears everywhere. as a restaurant name, tea name or others like a garden name:(

Maybe it’s good for local economy in short period, But not for good.
