Question

Why do mandarin/chinese drink alot of tea?

Answer 1

The Chinese believe that it help you to live at least 100 years. This can be seen in the Mandarin character cha (tea). The groups of strokes represent numbers and these add up to over 100 (108, 102, or 122 I think). There are 3 types of tea fermented (black), half-fermented (flower), and non-fermented (green and the healthiest). There are many health benefits from tea (antioxidants). And it has a deep and rich history in China. It's not just a beverage there, it's part of the culture.

Therefore we have tea as a drink now!!!
