Tea Ceremony

skip to Shaghai Bund

With two students from Shandong province, who translated for us, and who were great fun to chat with, we attended a traditional Tea Ceremony

 

We sampled six kinds of tea, each prepared and served a special way.

 

The tall cups are "sniffing cups"; the glass at right contains "flower tea", a sewn-together arrangement of tea leaves and flowers

 

This cup changes from a dark design to a brightly colored one when it gets hot.

 

Time to say goodbye.
