Recently, spring tea picking was in full swing in Anhui, fueling a boom in savoring the first cup of spring tea. Different from the past, drinking tea is no longer exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. It enjoyed popularity in young people and became a fashion of life.
When it comes to drinking tea, young people pursue not only a healthy lifestyle, but also some kind of spiritual satisfaction. In traditional tea ceremony, people learn etiquette and traditional virtues through the process of making tea, appreciating tea, drinking tea, etc. While making tea requires patience, drinking tea can calm down people’s minds. This kind of slow and leisurely lifestyle advocated by traditional tea culture can help young people relax and slow down in the fast-paced life nowadays. Those young people may not be proficient in tea ceremony, but they try to find the meaning and value of tea in their own way, and their love for tea is the best inheritance of tea culture.
