Tea appreciation

Tea appreciation is growing in popularity. Learn ""Cha Dao"", the art of preparing Chinese Tea. Learn how to brew a good cup of tea, the etiquette of drinking tea and the proper use of drinking utensils. Along with appreciating the rich heritage of Chinese customs that compliments this refined art form, you will also discover the many health benefits of tea drinking and the myriad of intricate Chinese Tea flavours available.


When served on its own, the tea is meant to be appreciated (品茶). Chinese tea appreciation has a long history and is a refined activity for personal enjoyment or with fellow tea lovers. Most tea lovers will also have a large collection of tea pots, tea sets and accessories.  


When tea is served with food, it is meant to be drunk as a beverage. Tea aids digestion and prevents absorption of fats into the body. Many scientific studies have presented evidence of tea's health benefits. When friends or relatives meet for food especially dim sum, it is described as "going for tea" (喝茶).
