Beijing, China. 2011
Today's true tea story comes from the birthplace of our venerable beverage: China. The Chinese don't go in for any of this milk and sugar sh*t. Theirs is the only country I've visited where tea is usually savoured pure; just leaves and hot water. But when it comes to faffing about on special occasions they can compete with Morocco or England any day. The ritual involves transferring tea and water between various containers and pouring the hot liquid over small china frogs (apparently to help them grow). And then drinking the tea.
