chinese tea

Chinese tea culture is the culture of making and drinking tea in China. China is the birthplace of tea, and the discovery and utilization of tea by the Chinese people are said to have begun in the time of the legendary Emperor Shennong, dating back more than 4700 years. To this day, the Han ethnic group still maintains the tradition of using tea as a token of respect.
The main varieties of Chinese tea include green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, and dark tea. Representative types of tea include Lapsang Souchong, Pu-erh tea, and oolong tea, among others.
Regularly drinking Chinese tea can help clear the mind, refresh the brain, and regulate blood lipids. Chinese tea is also used as a weight loss aid, as some studies have shown a connection between tea consumption and reduced fat levels.
