Many people must have heard of the "seven things to start a new day", namely firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea. It can be seen that "tea" plays an important role in Chinese culture. According to records, "tea" began in the Shennong period and has a history of nearly 5,000 years. There is no doubt that China is the home of tea culture. Until now, many regions still use tea as a gift, and each region has its own tea ceremony culture. There are also many types of tea. The ones that are widely known and recognized by everyone are classified according to the color and processing method of tea, namely black tea, green tea, qing tea, yellow tea, dark tea and white tea.

The Chinese people's enthusiasm for tea culture is not only for "drinking tea", but also for "tasting tea". This also brings a bit of spiritual comfort and a moment of rest to people in their busy schedules. Therefore, tasting tea is full of fun and comfort. The environment for drinking tea is also very particular. Ancient people often chose poetic gardens, not only pursuing tranquility and comfort, but also freshness and cleanliness. It can be seen that drinking tea is an activity that is very beneficial to physical and mental health.


想必很多人都聽到過“開門七件事”,即柴米油鹽醬醋茶。可見,“茶”在中華文化裡的重要地位。根據記載,“茶”始於神農時期,據現在有將近5000年的歷史了。不容置疑,中國是茶文化的故鄉,直到現在還有很多地區都以茶代禮,每個地區還有自己的茶道文化。茶的種類也是多種多樣的,被大家廣為熟知與認同的就是按照茶的色澤與加工方法來分類,即紅茶、綠茶、青茶、黃茶、黑茶和白茶這六大類。

中國人對茶文化的熱情不僅是為了“飲茶”,更注重的是“品茶”,這也給百忙之中的人們帶來一絲心靈上的撫慰與片刻之間的歇息,因此品茶是富含著情趣與愜意的。品茶的環境也是非常講究的,古代人常會選擇富有詩意的園林,不僅追求安靜和舒適,同時也要清新與乾淨。由此可見,飲茶是一項非常有益於身心健康的活動。
