An essay called “Chinese tea culture in eyes of western people” was published in 《Financial Times》in UK. It says that China is a subject of knowledge. Understanding China is as difficult as learning Chinese. It’s said that, business tourists are lost in the sea of Chinese cites. They Chinese are surrounded with tall buildings, watch TV while enjoying their dinner, go singing karaoke. Whatever, open China sometimes seems elusive as closed China.

Faced with doubts, people need courage or special interests of birds, gardening, train, arts and so on. I think these things will attract you to more strange and meaningful places than nightclubs and yachts. Tea also has this kind of enchantment. As you know, tea is grown in the southern part of China, and popular with the whole Chinese. It can bring you to a better and more graceful China when drinking tea. 

Hangzhou is the hometown of dragon well tea and may be the most convenient in transport. Nonesuch longjing tea’s scent is like mixture of chlorophyll essence and cream hazelnut. 

Tie guan yin tea  is of high quality, and it’s important to choose good water to infuse it. In local places, people use Hupao spring to boil tea, which is two kilometers away. As is known, tea can show the poetry aspect of local people’s character. If you have a chance to stay in a tea house, you will get more than the knowledge of tea. There water in tea pot is heating slowly, and servers will constantly provide water, fruits, desserts, etc. 

Tasting top grade tea is like enjoying the spring days. It brings you a relaxed mood, especially with classic furniture, traditional decorations, servers’ costumes and music in the air. If you even can’t find the sense, you can go back to Xihu lakeside. Then you can choose a beautiful night, and join a party with traditional musicians when moon is up. Oh, that’s really an impressive experience.
