Afternoon tea in China

China – The Birthplace of Tea
Tea started in China over 4,000 years ago. Green tea is the most famous, but oolong and black tea are also popular. Chinese tea ceremonies are slow and peaceful, using tiny cups. Fun fact: In China, people tap their fingers on the table to say thank you when someone pours their tea!
