Basking in the sun, steaming, wetting, drying, heating and cooling the tea
You’ve got to wait further to have a good cup of tea
The Tropic of Cancer runs through the land
Miraculous red soil white camellia
Lancang River flows forward with the fragrance of tea
Yunnan is right the paradise on the earth
The ancient tea horse road has a long history
Caravans toiled all the way to make a living
After drinking a pot of rice liquor, they forgot their worry
They made a work song to lift up their courage
What they cared so much was Pu’er tea
It appeared to be an inconspicuous Yunnan green tea at first
It went through many hardships on the ancient tea horse road
It witnessed joy and sorrow of people on the way
The water of Pu’er tea was evaporated slowly on the way
Many historical changes happened on the way
For the ultimate purpose, it could be served on the table as tea
Pu’er tea reminds drinkers of the historical events
