Bulgarian Tea Lovers Brew Cultural Exchange in Ningbo 🌱✨

Move over, coffee culture—tea is steeped in history, and it’s brewing new connections between China and the world! 🇨🇳🤝🇧🇬 To celebrate International Tea Day (May 21), a group of Bulgarian visitors swapped their cups for baskets and dove into a tea-picking adventure at a lush garden near Dongqian Lake in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.

🍃 The event blended agriculture, tourism, and cultural exchange, with participants sampling fragrant green teas and learning traditional brewing techniques. Simeon Petrov Vasilev, a 54-year-old tea aficionado, shared his 40-year love affair with tea: \"In Bulgaria, we brew tea longer, but here, just a few seconds unlocks such vibrant flavors. It's like magic!\"

🌍 Ningbo’s tea gardens are part of a growing trend in China’s agricultural tourism, where visitors combine hands-on farming experiences with cultural immersion. The city’s scenic landscapes and rich tea heritage are drawing global travelers eager to taste tradition—literally!

💡 Did you know? China produces over 2.5 million tons of tea annually, and green tea accounts for nearly 60% of that. This event highlights how ancient practices are still steeping relevance in our modern, interconnected world.
