It was also part of the activities that Zhenjiang agricultural and rural bureau held to celebrate the International Tea Day.
The ancient ways of enjoying tea in Song era were significantly different from today’s practices. At that time, tea was primarily prepared using the whisking method that combined eight steps such as pouring and dripping.
