During Mandarin this week we learned about different types of Chinese tea, how to make tea following the Chinese traditions and the importance of drinking tea in China. We learned that there are six types of tea which Chinese people drink on a regular basis and during tea time, six cups are used as part of the tea set as six is a lucky number in China. It was interesting to see the large differences in the ways Chinese tea is made and Scottish tea is made. We enjoyed using the different equipment and got to taste some green tea and black tea.
