Learning about Eastern Culture, especially Chinese culture, we cannot pass by enjoyment of drinking tea as a beverage. Before 8th century B.C, Chinese tea was primarily used as a medicine. In the next stage, it was cooked like a soup, tea leaves were mixed with food. Ancient Chinese books documented that tea was eaten and used with other spices to cook at this stage. During the Tang Dynasty (618 AD – 907 AD), tea became a common beverage and was trading extremely busy.

Nowadays, Chinese tea is exported over the world. In Hungary, we can taste approximately 100 different type of the tea in Teaház Körönd at Budapest, Aradi u 53.

Entering the tea house, we can see whole decoration belonging to Chinese that he brought them from China. Beside green tea and black tea are very well known, Teahaz has also special fruite tea without sugar. An Shi said:”Tea can be used as medicine or a treatment for illness. For example: person who has a lot of sweat, green tea will help; incontrast, person who usually feels cold, black tea will help; you have problem with stomatch? You should choose ginger tea”. Everytime I come here, I learn useful tips from him for my health. Have you taste a tea which has smelling of milk but no colour of milk? It calls Oolong milk tea – my favourite.
