　　"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo toboil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.

　　China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea wasexported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and CentralAsia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the earlyperiod of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upperclass adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk andchina—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of theculture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simplegesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is afundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.

　　China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "theSaint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and whowrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. Thespirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there aremany kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing notedfor its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places inthe southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tinycups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea ConnoisseursAssociation, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest Chinalike Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain teaceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.
