Default Fate of an 800 year ancient tea tree king in Jing Mai

Please read our report on an 800 year ancient tea tree king in Jing Mai at
http://teahub.blogspot.com/2004/12/f...tree-king.html
It is quite disturbing.

With many recent interests in ancient tea tree teas, please be aware of
faked wild ancient tea tree teas. Leaves of real ancient tea tree teas
have sharp (shaper than cultivated trees) sawtooth edge, thick blades and
clear vein. Real ancient tea tree teas taste strong. Don't be fooled by
the claim that ancient tea tree teas are large leaf variety, and
therefore,they are huge. Real high quality ancient tea tree tea should be
made of early Spring new tea leaves. Although they are comparatively
larger than small leave variety, they should by no means be huge.
Otherwise, you are getting old tea leaves not new tea leaves.
