Tea is native to China，and Chinese tea culture has a long history.Originally tea was used as a medicine instead of a drink. It was said that Shennong，the legendary ruler in ancient China，once tasted a lot of plants and was poisoned many times. It was tea that helped him get rid of the poisoning effect. Later the ancient Chinese got to know more and more about tea，and instead of being regarded as a medicine, it became a drink.Tea not only quenches one's thirst, but also helps reduce one's intemal heat.
In fine，among all peoples in the world，the attitude of the Chinese toward tea is unique.They emphasize a lofty and leisurely mood，quiet and fine surroundings，freshness and clearness of water, elegant tea sets and close，good friends entertained.In tasting tea，although the Chinese take a great delight in its brewing，yet their real purpose is to achieve spiritual ascendancy.So,tea is not just for satisfying the taste，but is a part of life.
