Dia típico

Typically, you will work 4 - 5 hours a day, four days a week.

The role you play will depend on the specialty of your skill set. This will likely involve working in house ( tea ceremony ) or at a similar designated space (work with local tea start-ups, local tea youtubers ). At times, you may be asked to help with physical labor, including but not limited to tea picking, making fermented tea products (Bamboo Tube Roasted tea, Puerh Tea Cakes, Peony tea, White tea, Red tea, etc.), making traditional paper from bamboo straw, cooking, helping with events for visitors and field education workshops for local youth, etc.

Please be prepared for the level of fitness this work requires and have appropriate clothing available for such work conditions. Also note that, depending on the season, it can be hot, humid, and buggy.

 

Note: WE DON'T WORK OUTSIDE ON RAINY DAYS: There is a dizzying mix of weather here, sometimes it is raining for a half of the month. We are citizen of Yin & Yang philosophical concept, Therefore we believe that working in the rain can cause slippery surfaces and limited visibility, and possibly cases of rheumatism disease. (There were some participants who complained  about this because while they took part in our program for just one week, it rained during the whole week!!! )

    Rather than a trading post, this is more of a cultural and communal activity. The market is held every Sunday. People come here to buy groceries, but mostly, this is the place for young people to meet up and have fun.
        It looks like a festival more than a market. Therefore, boys and girls prepare to go to the market the night before in order to arrive on time. They try to look their best by putting on their most beautiful clothes.
