Culture

China is the hometown of tea. It is the first country in the world to discover tea, drink tea and create a unique tea drinking culture of the Chinese nation. As an important part of Chinese traditional culture, tea culture flourished in the Mid Tang Dynasty when Lu Yu, the "tea sage", published the book of tea.

The classic of tea is the first monograph on Tea Science in the world. It is the most complete monograph on Tea Science in ancient China. It is Lu Yu's comprehensive and detailed elaboration on the history, origin, efficacy, cultivation, picking, boiling and drinking of Chinese tea before the middle of Tang Dynasty. The publication of the book of tea marks the formal formation of Chinese tea culture.

China is the hometown of tea. Simao, Yunnan Province, is the earliest birthplace of tea in the world. Tea, in China, first appeared as a "sacrifice" in the court's sacrificial activities. Secondly, it appears in the daily life of alchemists in the form of "eating". Later, it appeared in people's life in the form of "medicine". In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tea as a drink into the daily life of ordinary people. Now, tea has been popular all over the world, occupying the top of the three drinks in the world.

The development history of tea culture is a miniature of the social development history of our country. Through the understanding of the history of tea culture, we can clearly understand the development history of our society. Thus, we love the traditional tea culture of our motherland more deeply.
