The Culture of Gaiwan Tea

A cup of Gaiwan tea allows you to savor the slow-paced life in Chengdu. Gaiwan tea is representative of Sichuan's tea culture, and the culture of teahouses has a history of thousands of years. In Chengdu, sitting on a bamboo chair, sipping a cup of Gaiwan tea, and watching a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance is the most authentic way of leisure in Chengdu style.

The Charm of Gaiwan Tea:

√"One bowl of tea, three layers of flavors": The tea lid locks in the aroma, the tea water flows gently, and the tea saucer prevents scalding. With one sip, you can taste three different sensations.

√Common types of tea to experience: Jasmine tea, Biluochun tea, Zhuyeqing tea. Each one exudes a natural fragrance.

√Experience "earpicking": It is a distinctive service in Chengdu teahouses. Professional masters use traditional tools to pick the ears of tourists. It is not only interesting but also allows you to experience the authentic urban culture.
