Tea is one of the greatest cultural treasures of Chinese civilization. Tea was historically discovered by the legendary emperor, Shennong, who believed that water was safe to drink only by first boiling it. One day he noticed some leaves had fallen into his boiling water. The ever curious monarch took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by its flavor and its restorative properties. Tea remained in Chinese hands for centuries, before foreign explorers brought this to an enthusiastic public in Europe and other places. Tea drinking then became a standard feature of the Chinese culture. Regions famous for Chinese tea in the south have produced much of the world's tea. China for centuries has been acting as the first nation of tea because of its outstanding products. Today, Chinese tea must compete against foreign teas from many other places in the world. China has an advantage in this, however, because of her long history and the quality of her teas. Rituals have even appeared in the preparing and drinking of tea. This tea culture places emphasis on the taste and color of the tea as well as on the presentation of the tea set. Tea has become more than a mere drink. Rather, it is a symbol of the Chinese people and culture.

茶是中華文明最寶貴的文化財富之一。歷史上，茶是帶有傳奇色彩的帝王神農發現的，他認爲水只有先燒開之後飲用纔是安全的。一天，他發現一些葉子掉進了他燒開的水中。一向好奇的君王嚐了一口，他爲其芳香和恢復體力的功效而驚奇、興奮。早在外國探險家把茶帶給歐洲和其他地方熱情的民衆之前，茶已在中國留傳了幾個世紀。飲茶在當時成爲中國文化的標準特徵。因中國茶葉而聞名的中國南部生產出了世界上大部分的茶葉。中國幾個世紀以來因其優質的茶產品一直扮演着世界第一茶葉大國的角色。現在中國的茶葉必須和來自世界其他地區的外國茶葉競爭。但是中國由於其悠久的歷史和茶葉的質量，在這方面具有較強的優勢。在泡茶和品茶的過程中還出現了茶道。這種茶文化注重茶的味與色，以及茶具的擺放。茶已經不單單是一種飲品，它是中國人和中國文化的象徵。
