International Students Experience Chinese Tea Culture

May 21 marks the International Tea Day, and also the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. Several international students from the University of South China went to a tea plantation in Bailian Town, Hengdong County, for a study tour on that day. They tried their hand at picking, making, and tasting tea to understand Chinese tea culture. The photo shows international students learning to fry tea leaves from an instructor.
