The history of tea drinking among the Chinese is long, with thousands of years of tea fragrance lingering in people's throats, forming a reflexive aroma that can be felt just by imagining it. For the Chinese, drinking tea is as natural as breathing air. In Taiwan and China, tea drinking is a very common way to quench thirst and also a life ritual that requires no special effort. However, in addition to the Chinese tea you are familiar with, flower and fruit teas from Europe and matcha from Japan, as well as black tea that originated in China and was brought to Britain, have all risen as new stars, each developing their own unique niches and adding brilliance to the world of tea.
Different teas have different styles and flavors. Just by smelling the aroma, you can sense the unique mood of each tea leaf. After years of drinking tea, have you grown accustomed to the light bitterness of black tea, the subtle bitterness of matcha, the mellow sweetness of oolong, and the sweet and fragrant aroma of flower and fruit teas? So this time, we will incorporate these distinctive tea flavors into three types of pastries—Chinese, Western, and Japanese—to transform tea drinking from a standardized taste experience into an eye-catching and palate-awakening alternative elegance.
