Tea is Art
Then the art of tea-making spread throughout the southern regions of China. As other districts adopted the drink, people infused tea with local customs. This is why the art of tea-drinking can vary from place to place to this day.
Starting around the 5th and 6th centuries, Chinese tea things sprung up as tea-drinking became more fashionable, including the famous Tang porcelain known as Yue Ware and celadon.
By the 7th century, or the Tang dynasty, the southerner’s drink became China’s national beverage.
Tea and the Chinese culture grew inseparable.
