Although the road is narrow, it is of great significance, and the impact is enough to shake the past and the present; Although the backs of the ancestors are bent, you must know that they carry the Chinese civilization! You say it's not heavy.

In the past, tea drinking was also more particular, and the ancient ritual took about a few hours, but now it is rare and can only be seen in Japan! Japanese tea ceremony.

It looks more cumbersome, but it makes people feel comfortable and feel good when they try it, and they have a sense of ritual.

It is the reverence for the tea ceremony, the respect for tea and tea utensils, and the comfort of life! Optimism! The Chinese tea ceremony was popularized, and the tedious rituals were slowly simplified, a cup, a pot of boiling water, a few tea leaves, and a cup of tea came out!

China has also moved from a slow pace to a fast track! China's development is also going higher and farther on this road!

The types of tea are also diverse, and Xinyang is hairy.

West Lake Longjing, Qimen black tea.

A wide variety ......Different varieties, different tastes, deduce the different process of tea! It's like life has its own trajectory! Tea from the tree to the cup, the journey is the perfect transformation from immaturity to sublimation, when the boiling water is poured into the cup, the final mission is completed!

The ancient Tea Horse Road made the desolate pure Gobi Desert full of vitality and made the scenery along the way more prosperous! A steady stream of tea was shipped to the West, but it still couldn't stop their enthusiasm! Tea has been improved in the UK, turned into afternoon tea, a short break, exchanges make the time of afternoon tea become significant, become the habit of people from all walks of life in the UK, from the queen to the poor, afternoon tea is essential, however, tea is completely not enough to rely on imports, so the British began to try to plant tea in their colony India, in Africa, around the world, tea has also become a world wind!

Since then, tea is no longer just a unique product of China.

But tracing back to the roots, 'tea' is still in China!

Drinking is not high, Hu Zhi is tea, or a kind of life.

A leaf, growing carefree in the arms of its mother, crisp and crisp. One day, it was gently picked by a tea picker. After it reluctantly said goodbye to its mother, it was put into a basket and with its companions who had been with him day and night, and it happened that some of them were regarded as unqualified and discarded mercilessly; Some are made into curled tea leaves and sealed in tea cans, and this leaf is one of them.

When the workers placed him on the shelves, many customers cast curious glances and kept rummaging with their hands, but no one bought it. It hated this life, and there was always a thought around it in its heart. Finally, when he was about to despair, a man bought it, and he was grateful to the gentleman for letting it out of this life.

Since then, Ye Zi has lived in this house. But day after day, the tent seemed to have forgotten about it, and had never touched it since it was bought, which reminded it of what Mother Tea had said to it: Child, we are weak by nature, and can only be swayed by humans.

It is not reconciled, but it cannot move easily, it is waiting for an opportunity. Here's your chance! The owner's cat jumped on the desk and was slowly approaching it with a pair of greedy eyes, and when the cat's paws were about to touch the edge of the teahouse, it used all its strength to lean back.
