Close Your Eyes and Taste the Chinese Tea
China is a country in Asia that extends from central Asia to the Yellow Sea and the East and South China Seas. Among the Chinese novels, the oldest and the most popular is the historical romance of the Three Kingdoms. The imperial history of the Chinese is as long as the Great Wall and there was an Emperor who enjoyed boiling his own water for drinking. One day, few leaves from a nearby tree settled in his boiling water and an inspirational aroma created tea-drinking thereafter.
The Chinese name is cha.
Half a century ago, tea came in containers made of tin and an uncle whom we only got the chance to see at his photo, shipped many of those from China; today his daughter hand-carried the great tea from China too and we've got a chance to see each other in person, when she visited Jonker Walk, Malacca.
