Features: Tea is a good companion for contemplation, it can immerse one's soul in great peace. Tea is the wings of imagination, bringing joy and transcendence while keeping one clear and perceptive. It brings one closer to the wisdom of life rather than losing one's mind. Therefore, the habit of drinking is the same in almost all Eastern countries—it is drinking tea. Here, people need this simple yet flavorful beverage, just as they admire the selfless spirit of Eastern wisdom. It is both a living tradition and a cultural tradition. Chinese tea is divided into six major categories based on different processing techniques: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, dark tea, yellow tea, and white tea. Some say that green tea represents the literary temperament of Jiangnan, with its clear, slightly astringent, and distant flavor; black tea has the elegance of a gentlewoman, being gentle, composed, and full of tranquility; oolong tea is like the perseverance of a practitioner, with its passionate and enduring nature; dark tea symbolizes the wisdom of the learned, becoming more fragrant over time and leaving a lingering aftertaste.
