Tea is more than a drink, but a lifestyle.

About

ABOUT ME

I come from Guangdong Province in China, a place renowned for its rich tea culture. Growing up immersed in this tradition, I naturally became a tea enthusiast. As I grew older, I began to delve deeper into the world of tea, learning to identify different types, tasting various teas, and even visiting tea mountains to observe the picking and processing of tea leaves. Through this journey, I have come to appreciate the profound influence of traditional Chinese culture on tea culture, and how tea culture, in turn, enriches Chinese culture, making it an indispensable part of our heritage.

OUR MISSION

Today, tea culture is increasingly embraced by young people, with new and modern ways of drinking tea constantly emerging. Through this website, I aim to introduce some of these trendy tea-drinking ways to more young people, helping them fall in love with tea. This website is primarily aimed at our international friends, so part of it will be dedicated to basic information about Chinese tea, including its history and the different types of tea. This will provide a comprehensive understanding of Chinese tea culture from ancient times to the present.

The website will be regularly updated with the latest trends in tea drinking in China. We welcome you to join us in exploring this vibrant world of tea and experiencing the charm of Chinese culture!

Tea Culture

Li Ziqi Channel shows the whole process of traditional Chinese tea from planting, picking, processing to the final product and drinking, and through these elaborate videos, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of the essence of traditional Chinese tea culture.

As the title of the video says, Tea is not just a drink, it’s a way of life.Tea culture has long been an integral part of Chinese culture, deeply integrated into the daily life and spiritual world of the Chinese people.

Tea is not only a beverage in Chinese people’s daily life, but also a symbol of cultural heritage and spiritual pursuit. It symbolises tranquillity, elegance and inner peace. Tasting tea is not only about savouring the aroma and taste of tea, but also about savouring an attitude towards life and philosophical thinking.

If you are interested in Chinese culture, then understanding Chinese tea culture is essential. By savouring a good cup of tea, you can not only feel the thousands of years of Chinese history and cultural heritage, but also appreciate the wisdom and philosophy of life behind the tea.

Let’s immerse ourselves in the aroma of tea and experience the endless charm of tea culture!

New ways to drink tea

In the past, drinking tea in China was often considered a hobby for middle-aged and old people. However, with the revival of traditional Chinese culture, tea culture has begun to enter younger groups, and more and more young people have begun to use tea as a social activity. Along with this comes the emergence of many youthful tea drinking styles. This theme will showcase TREE popular tea-drinking activities among young Chinese today, so let’s learn more about them!
