Drinking Tea Around the world
Posted by Leo WilkesJul 21
We love drinking Green Tea.
We discovered the passion for drinking tea in South East Asia and China.
We literally attempted to drink all the tea in China and as many different variations and concoctions as we could get our lips around.
l will never forget ordering my first tea in Yangshuo China.
I decided to get adventurous and try something other than green tea. I ordered some sort of flowery tea and it arrived in a beautiful brown porcelain tea cup with Chinese engraved writing on it.
A lid was on top trapping inside all the brewing goodness. I opened the lid and remarked to Craig,
“Oh dear, Craig, I think they have forgotten to take the tea out.”
There floating on top of my tea was a giant orange flower that looked just like a daisy.
“How am I meant to drink that?”
I called over the waiter.
“Um… Excuse me. I think there is a problem, there are still flowers in the tea.”
“No, it is okay.”
I was very doubtful, but if I was going to be drinking all the tea in China then I wanted to do it like the Chinese.
Drinking tea is now a passion we carry around the world with us.
When in San Francisco, visit the largest China Town outside of China. And of course, taste test lots of Green Tea
Greeen tea also became a regular part of our breakfast menu in Thailand. What a way to start the day in Koh Lanta
Another wonderful morning and start to the day enjoying my tea on the beach at Koh Tao, Thailand
Having a tea break whilst hiking the Tiger Leaping Gorge in China was a welcomed treat

We highly recommend a visit to the Japanese Tea Gardens inside Golden Gate Park in San Francisco for a nice tea drinking experience
