My pen-pal from the USA come to visit me last week. It was first time that he had been to China and he enjoyed his stay there. I took him to a tea house near my house, there we had a good taste of Chinese tea and learned something about tea culture. Amazing at the tea pots and cups of different shapes, he took some photo of them. Then a young lady came to serve for us. She showed us how to make tea but encouraged us to give it a try.
