At Nankun Mountain in Huizhou, southern China, 58 families with parents and children took part in a forest hike, enjoying green hills, clear water, and a chance to learn about Maocha tea culture. Led by coaches, the families followed a gentle mountain trail for 5 km, taking in the area’s natural scenery along the way.

The route ended at the Nankun Mountain Maocha Tea Culture Experience Camp, where staff explained how the local specialty is made and what makes it unique, then invited everyone to taste it.

Nankun Mountain Maocha is a rare tea that grows in high mountain mist at elevations above 600 metres. It has a history of more than 300 years. Local accounts say it does not affect sleep and has long been popular among people in Nankun Mountain, earning it the names “the tea of a hundred years” and “longevity tea.”
