"This is the hotel where I stayed when I was traveling in Wuyi Mountain. The owner is making Kungfu tea for me. China's tea culture is extensive and profound, and Wuyi Mountain is a place rich in tea.

When making tea, you have to change into the distinctive Chinese tea ceremony dress and use more than 10 tools. The age and variety of the tea can be identified by the aroma left on the lid.

I not only learned the types and manufacturing methods of tea, but also became proud of the wisdom of the Chinese people."
