From support to continuing growth.
01 · A shared cultivation from garden to grower
The material refers to tea-garden development and collaboration with tea growers. Building a garden concerns not only a growing space, but also the relationship of tending land together, meeting the seasons and arranging a livelihood; the specific plots and forms of collaboration await original documentation.
02 · Let maker cultivation enter the fabric of the tea industry
Maker cultivation and the tea industry appear as two strands placed together in the material: one carries skills of the hand and accumulated experience; the other considers how tea may become an industry rooted in place. No training methods, scale or outcomes are inferred from this; original material remains to be added.
03 · Open a way into the mountain country through tea culture
The material also refers to tea-culture travel, where tea practice, local character and the experience of travel may illuminate one another. Accurate records of its settings, content and timing have not been supplied, so this remains a tea-country narrative to be unfolded by further material.
