These workshops take advantage of our unique combination of diverse habitats, extensive plant collection, extraordinary library and well-equipped herb shop, plus my forty years of study and experimentation.

As a ‘botanic garden of useful plants’, one of our purposes is to introduce and promote new useful plants, for gardeners, growers, herbalists and chefs. Areas of special interest include wildfoods, medicinal herbs, (native and oriental), health-boosting (tonic, adaptogenic) plants and east-west parallels in botany and pharmacy.

Seeds and plants of most of the species discussed will be available for purchase; additionally participants will have the opportunity to purchase freshly dug, bare-root plants at a considerable saving.

DānCóng Oolong Tea of Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong w/Shunyu of Wild Flavors Tea

  • Mountain Gardens 546 Shuford Creek Road Burnsville, NC, 28714 United States (map)

Shunyu is thrilled to offer regular Chinese Tea workshops at the Mountain Gardens.

On October 19th, Saturday 3-5pm, Shunyu will host a special workshop “DānCóng Oolong Tea of Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong”.  (C here pronounces “ts”) 

We will taste 3 different DānCóng crafted by Shifu/Master Wén Wěi Míng 文偉明 from Wū Dòng village 烏崠村 on Phoenix Mountains 鳳凰山, each of the DānCóng from trees that grow wild on unmanaged land.

During the workshop, we will explore the history, geography, and culture of this particular region. Deep dive into the traditional charcoal roasting style and sip in the personality of the master. 

Please, enjoy wandering Joe Hollis’ Mountain Gardens before or after Tea!
