What‘s your cup of tea？

Tea is the second most popular drink in the world, just after water. It's renowned not only for its health benefits but also as a significant cultural tradition. What does tea mean to you?

In Chengdu, there are as many teahouses as there are leaves in a cup of tea! My grandfather used to take me to these teahouses where he and his friends would sip tea and exchange news. Now that I'm studying abroad, most of my classmates prefer coffee, but I always opt for green tea. For me, it's more than just a beverage. A comforting cup of warm tea always evokes feelings of being back home.

While British culture is often associated with afternoon tea, the truth is that tea is enjoyed throughout the day. My husband, for instance, drinks up to eight cups daily! When my children were younger, I made it a habit to prepare tea for them after school. Even now as adults, they return home every weekend. We gather in the yard, enjoying conversations and relaxation over black tea and biscuits. It's our special way of staying connected.
