Teahouses

 

Tea is integral part of contemporary Chinese society and a mainstay of economic and cultural activity that has not waned since the days of old Beijing. Long ago, teahouses were the centre of social activity and bubbled with the chatter of people from all walks of life. In the old teahouses noblemen, imperial officials, touts and peddlers chose their teas carefully and caught up on the day. Today, teahouses in China still have the same function but with not quite so much bustle, having adopted some of the aspects of peace and contemplation associated with Japanese tea culture.

Experience the traditional Chinese teahouse culture and tea ceremonies. Become a discerning tea drinker.
