Sichuan
In Xian of Mingshan, Sichuan Province, China, on April 13, 2025, a man hand-roasts freshly picked young tea leaves in a large wok. This precise and rapid ancestral gesture fixes the tea's aromas and preserves the freshness of the buds. As the final step before commercialization, this firing gives the tea its characteristic notes and velvety texture. (Photo by Emeric Fohlen/NurPhoto)
