The Chinese people when drinking tea place much significance on the act of "savoring". "Savoring tea" is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but also allows people to take delight in the drinking-tea itself. Snatching a bit of leisure time from a busy schdule, making a kettle of strong tea, securing a serene place, and serving and drinking tea by yourself can help banish fatigue and frustrations, and may be inspire you too.
中国人喝茶时关注一个“品”字 。 “品茶”不仅是一种鉴别茶的好坏，而且还可以使人们乐在其中。忙里偷闲，泡一壶的浓茶，寻一幽处，自斟自饮可以帮助消除疲劳和沮丧，同时可能使你精神焕发。
