Tea used to play an important role in people’s busy life and it is done even up to date. The whole tea story started in China, the home of tea culture, but today it has spread far and wide throughout the world. It is fashioning the lives of those who indulge in the consumption of this prestigious brew. A famous belief every Chinese has is that the first things they should get ready when they start life in the morning are firewood, rice, edible oil, salt, soy, vinegar, and tea. This only demonstrates that tea is a necessity of life.
In later years tea became a way of life and a Chinese tea drinker named Lin Yutang had the following to say in the 1930s, “The proper enjoyment of tea can only be developed in an atmosphere of relaxation, fellowship, and friendly intercourse. It is only in the company of those gifted with a sense of comradeship, extremely selective in the matter of forming friends and endowed with a natural love of the leisurely life that the full enjoyment of tea becomes possible. Take away the element of sociability and these things have no meaning.”
