Tea talk Yes, without "tea" there would not be any Chinese nor Chinese culture! The original cup of tea was not invented but discovered as a course daily affair of the simple inhabitants in the hills of Min-nan. These hilly billy of old China found out the secret of preserving the essence of the green tea leaves. It was rolled and dried and good for keeping until when needed. Every dwelling mud hut has a simple set of tea implements for brewing a hot cup of tea. I wonder why they keep a hot thermos flash. It for making tea. The small cups and the hot bottle was always a symbols of welcoming any visitors or neighbors for a friendly chat. What would life be with the fun a simple habit of setting down to rap. Yes in order to chat , we need to sit, Yes, one need to be seated down. To stand and talk is not only seeming uncouth, but without the manners of civilized people. We may be the most ancient civilization far longer than the Roman or the Egyptians , but without tea, the Chinese culture would not have a starting point to develop any roots. The barbarians hordes may come, and conquer our people and our lands but to enjoy the friendliness of our simple Chinese farmers and the hill billy of Min-nan. remember -

COME AND SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CUP OF TEA! [[1]]
