A recent job post on a job-hunting website based in Xinyang, a city in southern Henan province, said, "West Jiuhua Mountain scenic spot is hiring full-time tea-leaf pickers. A prospective employee has to be a woman with no sexual experience, a bra size of at least C, and with no scar or wound visible on her body with a uniform."
The post soon came under fire for its absurdity and vulgarity.
In response to the buzz on the Internet, the employer, a management company at the scenic spot, said, "It's true. It is to pass on traditions."
The company also said that, a tea culture festival will be kicked off Saturday featuring 10 C-cup virgins chosen from all job candidates performing tea-leaf picking.
According to the job ad, tea-leaf pickers will be required to collect "mouth lip tea" during the harvest season.
They must clean their mouths and bodies on time every day and work out often. The daily pay is 500 yuan ($75).
The hiring company expects girls they hire to keep tea leaves in their mouths before making tea out of them.
Virginity and curviness are selling points the company exploits to convince customers that such tea is pure and contains enough yin (femininity).
