Tibet, Fuchs writes, knows and loves the dark tea that is fermented as it journeys to
them—it has never been exposed to any other type of tea. It is not a specialty, or single
estate or a first flush, it’s more earthy and hearty, a cup that offers sustenance. As winds
raged and blizzards blew, tea and fire held households together, and where tea was
shared, there was kinship, says Fuchs.

To perpetuate this tradition today, some people hold re-enactments, and you can
watch hundreds of animals file past, carrying cakes of tea.
