QUESTION:
Travelers to China marvel at the incredible
array of food on offer. Things that would
simply be unavailable or too expensive at
home can be sampled easily and cheaply in
China.
Often overlooked however is the quality and
range of beverages to accompany all of that
wonderful food.
A popular drink in China is White Tea. What
exactly is white tea?
A. Tea made with milk and sugar;
B. Boiled or hot water;
C. Tea made for westerners;
D. Green tea with milk.
ANSWERS:
B is correct! If you order white tea
you will be presented with a cup of hot or
boiled water. Many Chinese don't like to drink
chilled water as they believe that it can
be detrimental to their yin and yang, so they
drink warm water instead.
Like many other aspects of life in China,
things are not always as they seem at first
blush. :>
