Wild HerbsThis ancient tea forest is home to many varieties of bamboo, trees, medicinal and culinary herbs, edible fungus and wild vegetables. The local people have no use for synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or large scale clear cutting to pursue their traditional agriculture. Many of the local foods and herbal medicines used by the villagers are not cultivated but wild harvested in the mountains of their ancient tea tree forest.In this photo a Bulang villager shows us an herb that grows on the ancient tea trees called "Diao Lan" or "Singer's Herb" which is used by local villagers to sooth sore throat and cold. |
