China is the homeland of tea, taking a leading position in the
planting,producing and drinking of tea. Because of their different
producing techniques, Chinese tea is divided into six major types
-green tea, black tea,oolong tea, dark tea, yellow tea and white
tea. Some people say that green tea, simple and light, stands for
the scholasticity of south China; black tea, mild and reserved, is
quite ladylike; oolong tea, warm and persistent,resembles the
perseverance of gymnosophists; dark tea, with lingering
aftertaste, symbolizes the wisdom of the elderly, and so on and so
forth.
