Chinese Tea > Chinese Tea Culture

China has unique methods and equipment for preparing tea, especially when consumed on special occasions, that all go to make up the Chinese tea culture. In particular, there are certain circumstances where tea is traditionally consumed, like at family reunions, and during celebrations like weddings. Each occasion has a certain ceremony that is followed, and drinking tea plays an important part for many people.

There are many methods of brewing tea, but the correct one to use depends on the type of tea. As there are so many varieties of tea in China, there are also many ways of preparing tea, and it is important to choose the correct method to truly extract the optimum flavour from the tea leaves.
