Drinking in a quiet, peaceful, and comfortable environment allows you to relax and focus on the process of brewing tea.

Some of you have asked me to talk about the differences between Southern and Nothern China. Here’s one—the culture of tea drinking. In my family, we just put tea leaves in a mug with hot water, adding water a few times until the tea leaves lost their fragrance. The view of me drinking tea from my mug is similar to a german drinking beer from a pint. This is absolutely too casual and unrefined compared to the sophisticated way of tea drinking in the south. From the choice of tea set (according to different categories of tea) to the process of serving tea, there’s more attention to details and the focus is on “tasting” instead of simply “drinking”. The difference largely comes from the fact that tea is cultivated and produced mostly in the south and people naturally have more access to a variety of fresh quality tea. Drinking tea has been a habit and an essential part of their lives for a long time. In the north, people love to drink scented tea and black tea to keep them away from the coldness. (Of course there also exists people from the north who are into refined tea drinking.) #northvssouth #chineseculture #teaculture #drinkingtea #sliceoflife #webcomics #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B21cP4UCrER/?igshid=yjzs56xknhm
