水中花篮 Flowering Red Amaranth

When I visited Canton-i last week, I was amazed by their flower teas (工艺花茶), which was nicely tied and presented in a glass. Then, I found one article in newspaper regarding the origin of this kind of flower teas.

Right-click and "Save image as..."

It was introduced by a 37 years old female operator from Fu’an (福安), Fujian (福建) province, China. She had spent 4 years in R&D and distributed the flower teas to other countries. The production value was RMB 100 millions in year 2008. Now, Fu’an becomes the largest flower tea maker in China.

See, even operator also better than cheap engineer like me.
