Tea Ceremony at Sumgo Tea
By Chen Ran  ·  2016-07-19  ·   Source: | Web Exclusive

Fujian is the largest production base nationwide for oolong tea, one of the six major types of tea, and Xiamen remains the hub of China's tea trade. No wonder that tea is the most popular beverage among people living in Xiamen. Drinking tea is part of their life just as coffee is in the West, and a tea set is the most common and frequently used item.

There are over 6,000 tea shops and tea houses, big and small, scattered in Xiamen. Sumgo Tea is among the biggest ones. Besides tea and tea ware, the four-storied, well-designed flagship store also offers tea cuisine, tea ceremony presentations and tea culture workshops.

"Tea is more than a commodity. It carries ancient Chinese wisdom," the chairman Lin Yuhui said. "Once your mind is clear, your soul is calm and your body stays healthy. I hope customers, especially young people, feel and learn the essence of Chinese virtues such as courtesy, respect and filial piety through tea ceremonies."
