China is the hometown of tea. Chinese people were the first to discover, cultivate, and drink tea. They spread tea seed, tea picking and processing techniques, and tea appreciation techniques to the rest of the world. Tea began to gain fame in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and was gradually exported to other countries together with other specialties of China such as silk and chinaware. It was loved by more and more people in the world. Today, with people paying greater attention to health, Chinese tea is again popular due to its unique health-care efficacy. There are numerous tea varieties in China and many of them are famous ones. In ancient China, people associated tea drinking with character building and laid stress on the cultural charm in tea appreciation and philosophical realization. The tea culture against such background has been extensive and profound. It involves all the things related to tea, including people and their tea-related anecdotes, tea protocols and custom, and tea poems and paintings. Carrying the several-millennium Chinese history, the tea culture of China is being spread to the whole world with the penetrating aroma of the tea.
