reading this, you'll be an expert on Chinese tea.

🍵If you want a deep experience of Chinese tea culture, you must visit Mount Mengding in Sichuan. 📜 According to written records, during the Ganlu period of the Western Han Dynasty (53 - 50 BCE), Wu Lizhen from Ya'an personally planted seven tea plants on Mount Mengding, pioneering artificial tea cultivation in the world. He is thus revered as the "Ancestor of Tea". ✨We have developed a series of tea culture experience tours, allowing you to deeply savor history through tea and learn about tea knowledge. - Figure 2: The Origin of Tea Figure 3: How Ancient Chinese People Drank Tea Figure 4: General Classification and Characteristics of Tea Figure 5: The General Process of Tea Making #sichuan #cocorun #chinatrip #chinatravel #chinesetea
