Tea is one of the greatest cultural treasures of Chinese civilization. Tea was historically discovered by the legendary emperor, Shennong, who believed that water was safe to drink only by first boiling it. One day he noticed some leaves had fallen into his boiling water. The ever curious monarch took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by its flavor and its restorative properties. Tea remained in Chinese hands for centuries, before foreign explorers brought this to an enthusiastic public in Europe and other places. Tea drinking then became a standard feature of the Chinese culture. Regions famous for Chinese tea in the south have produced much of the world’s tea. China for centuries has been acting as the first nation of tea because of its outstanding products. Today, Chinese tea must compete against foreign teas from many other places in the world. China has an advantage in this, however, because of her long history and the quality of her teas. Rituals have even appeared in the preparing and drinking of tea. This tea culture places emphasis on the taste and color of the tea as well as on the presentation of the tea set. Tea has become more than a mere drink. Rather, it is a symbol of the Chinese people and culture.

茶是中華文明最寶貴的文化財(cái)富之一。歷史上，茶是帶有傳奇色彩的帝王神農(nóng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的，他認(rèn)為水只有先燒開(kāi)之后飲用才是安全的。一天，他發(fā)現(xiàn)一些葉子掉進(jìn)了他燒開(kāi)的水中。一向好奇的君王嘗了一口，他為其芳香和恢復(fù)體力的功效而驚奇、興奮。早在外國(guó)探險(xiǎn)家把茶帶給歐洲和其他地方熱情的民眾之前，茶已在中國(guó)留傳了幾個(gè)世紀(jì)。飲茶在當(dāng)時(shí)成為中國(guó)文化的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)特征。因中國(guó)茶葉而聞名的中國(guó)南部生產(chǎn)出了世界上大部分的茶葉。中國(guó)幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)因其優(yōu)質(zhì)的茶產(chǎn)品一直扮演著世界第一茶葉大國(guó)的角色。現(xiàn)在中國(guó)的茶葉必須和來(lái)自世界其他地區(qū)的外國(guó)茶葉競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。但是中國(guó)由于其悠久的歷史和茶葉的質(zhì)量，在這方面具有較強(qiáng)的優(yōu)勢(shì)。在泡茶和品茶的過(guò)程中還出現(xiàn)了茶道。這種茶文化注重茶的味與色，以及茶具的擺放。茶已經(jīng)不單單是一種飲品，它是中國(guó)人和中國(guó)文化的象征。
