Let's Explore

Chinese tea houses are full of stunning architecture, blending ancient traditions with modern interpretations. Heming Teahouse in Chengdu's People's Park is one of the city's oldest and most popular tea houses.

Chinese tea houses are often accompanied by stunning tea gardens. Meticulously landscaped, they offer an oasis of natural beauty and serenity. It's the perfect harmony between man-made elements and nature, and all with one goal: enhance the tea-drinking experience.

Tea preparation in China is an art in itself. Famous tea varieties like Longjing and Tieguanyin are made by skilled tea masters who bring out optimal flavours and aromas of each tea leaf.

Chinese tea ceremonies are carefully choreographed with grace and precision, appreciating every meditative pour and delicate handling of utensils. They foster harmony, mindfulness, and connection among participants, appreciating tea as a form of art.

Atop one of China's highest peaks, you can find the Huashan Teahouse, the world's most remote teahouse. A journey to this remote tea house begins with a 20-minute cable car ride, followed by a treacherous hike up steep terrain and across narrow paths where a single misstep could prove fatal. Despite the dangers, almost a million people visit the tea house, each year.
