Tea plays an importan role in chinese social life.When a guest enter a chinese home, a cup of tea is always offered immediately.Serving a cup of tea is more than a matter of mere politeness and a way of showing respect ot visitors.Enjoy chinese tea!

china has a long history in tea planting, tea making, and tea dreaking. based on the local climate, water condition etc, china's tea drinking has developed a variety of decisions or traditions, not like that of the UK or russian or other western countries. tea drinking is one of the major way to keep health, to keep shape, and to keep refreshing etc. its a part of the chinese food culture.
