All the TEA in China!!!

This blog is dedicated to my BEAUTIFUL , WONDERFUL and TALENTED Mother who I love more than all the tea in China!

As some of you may have heard , China is VERY famous for Tea !! You can go ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE in this country and guaranteed you will see tea shops , tea pots and people drinking tea !! Green tea , flower tea, Jasmine tea , yellow , red , purple tea , lemon tea , ginger tea ......anything you want to put in boiled water ....it's here in the LAND OF TEA !!

There are even famous mountains that are known for the BEST Green tea in the world ! EVERY restaurant has complimentary tea and we all love to drink it while waiting for our meals ! Something that is VERY different to western countries , we like to drink a soda or alcoholic beverage while dining out , but not here ...it's ONLY TEA !!! Some foreigners hate it as to them it just seems like hot piss in a cup !!

The Chinese believe that tea is very good for your health ..which it is , but too much of course is not good for you ! They also believe in drinking hot water , i personally hate drinking it , to me there is nothing like a freezing ice cold glass of water on a hot summer day !!

The tea shops are really cool , little miniature tea pots and cups all hand painted and decorated nicely , along with tea sampling and a HUGE variety of any tea imaginable !!

The thing that means the most to me about tea is when my mum writes me an email ! The message ends with      " Take care Sar and remember I love you more than all the tea in China " !!!!

G'DAY SARAH,

I have my computer back and working again, I have read all your wonderful posts and really enjoyed the journal entries you have written thus far, so interesting and giving us the readers a real look into what life in China is... Without actually being there. Keep writing you are so good at painting pictures with words...that's a real gift. I loved your wedding album and photos you sent, you are very attractive and beautiful. Look forward to visiting every chance I get for more travel tails of life in China.You take real good care now and stay safe and happy. Love to you and Hubby. Lots of love and ((((((HUGS)))))) from Dawnie. xxxx
