Tea culture

Tea culture is about enjoying the taste and experience of drinking tea. People around the world have different ways of making and drinking tea, which all have their own special parts to them. You can think of it like a big family sharing a special secret or way of doing something that only family members know. Like that, tea cultures around the world have special rituals for things like preparing tea, serving tea, and drinking tea. There are even special tea cups, teapots, and tea utensils that are used in different places. People meet up and enjoy each others company over a cup of tea and talk about life, celebrate special occasions, and share stories. Tea is a way of bringing people together and forming strong friendships.
