The Age Plan by Xiang Ji: Seven-Year Aged Plums

**Three Generations of Heritage** **"Well-Preserved Plums, Preserved with Care"** Cultivated with nature as the foundation, without chemical fertilizers for three generations. Our philosophy of care eschews pesticides and herbicides. Even as the surrounding mountain forests have been replaced by betel nut trees, we remain committed to safeguarding this land. We hope for the day when the mountain forests can return to a more natural state. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52083866388_f3914e4e86_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52084340715_e6a2dbd8a9_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52083866468_4155dd1d7f_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52084086384_47e70346f6_b.jpg **Plums preserved for seven years.** **Prominent saltiness, a fine, mashed plum pulp, and a rich, mature flavor.** Each batch of plums has a unique pickling condition; there is no single formula to apply. We observe with our eyes, taste with our mouths, confirm with our hands, and measure with instruments. We spend time with them, nurturing them slowly until they mature. The process uses no chemical additives or artificial flavorings. The low-salt pickling method also eliminates the need for rinsing, thus preserving complete nutritional content. We harness time and heartfelt dedication to unlock the value of the plums. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52263069112_97967cc2ce_b.jpg
