Tea

Over 4,000 years of history can be found in Chinese tea. The Chinese view drinking tea as a fine art form with several traditions and rituals associated with it. Tea is currently the national beverage of China and ranks alongside coffee and cocoa as one of the world's three most popular soft beverages. Tea is also considered one of the traditional Ancient Chinese foods.

As the first nation to introduce tea's growing, processing, and consumption practices to the rest of the globe, China proudly claims to be the origin of the beverage.


Since the ancient and middle ages, China's tea culture has influenced the tea cultures of its neighboring East Asian nations, including Japan and Korea. Over time, each of these nations has developed a slightly different style of tea ceremony; however, this variation is negligible in comparison to those of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia, which were late adopters of tea and have vastly divergent tea cultures from China, particularly in the case of Russia. In contemporary China, tea is still frequently eaten on both informal and formal situations.


Heat some water in a kettle to get the Chinese tea set ready. The heated water should then be poured over the teapot, snifter teacups, and normal teacups to reheat the entire tea set. Following that, take the teapot and glasses out of the bowl. If the cups are too hot to hold with your hands, you can use the tongs. Every ritual can be made ideal by being well-prepared in advance. Creating the ideal environment is also very important. It's crucial to maintain a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. Perfectly carrying out the ceremony could take some time, but that's okay. It's important to relish the process!
