Tea plays an important role in Chinese social life.Just as coffee became a part of daily life in the West, tea became a part of daily life in China. One can see teahouses scattered on the streets of China, much like cafes on the streets of the West. The Chinese have such a close relationship with tea that a new culture relating to tea began to rise in China.
Tea is always offered to a guest immediately upon entering a Chinese home. The Chinese pay great attention to their tea and the way they drink it.
It is said that tea shrubs were first discovered in the tropical and sub-tropical climate zone in the southwestern part of China, where primeval forests prevailed and the warm and moist setting was favorable for the growth of tea shrubs.
Chinese tea was primarily used as a medicine before the 8th century B.C..During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chinese people chewed tea leaves and enjoyed the taste of the juice itself. During the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BC - 8 AD), simple processing of Chinese tea emerged. Tea became popular in Tang and prospered in Song. After Ming, numerous types of Chinese teas were introduced.
