As part of our topic on China we had a Chinese Tea Ceremony this week. We learned that tea is one  of China’s biggest exports and that there are 5 main types of tea; White, Black, Green, Oolong and Fermented teas.

During a tea ceremony the guests thank the server for the tea by tapping on the table three times with one finger. It is also polite to drink the tea in three sips.  We had a tea party with black tea.  We decorated our own cups with Chinese designs to make it more authentic.  Most of the class enjoyed drinking the tea.
