In ancient times, tea was transported to foreign countries on the Silk Road. Tea was used to exchange things and used as gifts at that time. China has been famous for tea from then on. Many foreigners like drinking tea, influenced by the Chinese people. They drink tea in the form of tea bags, unlike Chinese who drink tea from tea pots.

Drinking tea is good for your health. There are many kinds of tea produced in China, such as green tea, black tea, flower tea, and so on. Different kinds of tea have different effects. In addition, the tea in the north is different from the tea in the south.

Chinese people are all hospitable. They always treat guests with tea and some snacks. Drinking tea and talking about life at the same time can make people happy and relaxed. How wonderful it is for us to drink tea with our friends!

Some people also make tea into tea cakes. It is a small flat round cake made of a mixture of tea and dried fruits. If you feel a little hungry, you can have some tea cakes with a cup of tea. It is really delicious!

My hometown produces a kind of unusual tea. It is bitter when you drink it at first. It will make you feel unpleasant, but after a while, it will become sweet. It is just like our human lives, bitter at first, sweet later. At last, you will think back its tastes.

Tea is not only an amazing thing, but also one thing you need to know about China.
