CGTN reporter Zheng Songwu teamed up with tea experts and overseas students from Brazil, Kenya, Russia, and Serbia for a leafy adventure. Together, they plucked fresh tea leaves and explored brewing techniques that date back centuries. Imagine swapping stories with peers over steaming cups—like a Netflix food doc, but IRL! 📸🍃
\"Tea connects us all,\" said one Brazilian student, holding a delicate porcelain cup. \"It’s wild to think we’re sipping the same flavors that kings loved.\" From tea ceremonies to cultural trivia, the event highlighted how China’s 5,000-year-old tea heritage continues to steep into global conversations. 🌏💬
