This was an unplanned tea party whilst visiting friends in Laibin in 2017. The Chinese tea ceremony is great to take part in. There’s a ritual to the cleaning process and making of the tea which is good to watch…and something I try to emulate to an extent when making Chinese tea in the UK. I’ll describe the ceremony in a future post.
There are always nibbles to eat, fruit and nuts in this case, and lots of tea is drunk. It’s an opportunity to try different types of tea, chat (if there are English speakers present) or just observe if there’s no English being spoken.
It was also a good time to test out my new 3D Photosphere camera. If this works OK on the blog and Facebook then there will be more to come. Please let me know if it looks OK for you.
