A good friend of mine invited me to come and have tea with her one afternoon at her family tea house. It was very traditional and I was highly impressed with the elaborate ceremony that goes along with making tea. It is some combination of smelling it, putting the warm glass on your eye (which really is relaxing), sipping it, rewarming it, then rubbing the remaining tea in your hands (to soften your skin). EVERYTHING the Chinese do is to improve your health. It was great to hear some of the legends that went along with the stories of the teas. Overall, a great experience!
