Lily went to Tokyo for a holiday last year with the aim of learning more about the Japanese culture. On one of the days, she visited a tea shop selling a wide selection of quality tea leaves. A hospitable¡]¦n«Èªº¡^ Japanese lady offered her a cup of Japanese tea and told her that she spent a lot of time and effort to find the best way to brew her tea. While they were enjoying the tea, this lady told Lily the history of the Japanese tea culture.

¡@In fact, many aspects of Chinese culture were introduced to Japan during the Heian Period¡]¥­¦w®É¥N¡^(A.D. 794-1185) when people were open to ideas and cultures from other countries. Japanese priests¡]¯«Â¾¤H­û¡^ and envoys¡]¥~¥æ¨Ï¸`¡^ were sent to China and brought tea back to Japan. Lily had a good time in Japan and developed her interest in tea culture.

Lily decided to continue to explore her interest with special attention to the medicinal¡]¦³ÃĮĪº¡^ functions of different kinds of tea leaves. Right after she had returned to Hong Kong, she got a job in a tea shop in Central as a shop assistant. One day, an elegant Japanese lady walked into the shop, Lily greeted her with a smile.

Lily: Welcome!

Miho(the Japanese client): Hello! Are you Lily?

Lily: Yes! You are....

Miho: I am Miho! Last year you visited a tea shop in Tokyo. I am the owner and introduced Japanese tea to you. Do you remember?

Lily: Oh! Yes! Great to see you again! I am working in this tea shop now.

Miho: It's your turn to tell me what kind of tea you have here.

Lily: Sure. Come on in!

The shop consists of two floors with a basement where clients can enjoy their tea. Miho was impressed by the simple but stylish design.

Lily: Let me play a game with you. Close your eyes. We serve a large variety of tea here. Can you tell me what kind of tea this is?

Miho: It smells like Japanese sencha¡]·Î¯ù¡^.

Lily: Yes! Just like Dragon Well¡]Às¤«¡^and Jasmine¡]­[²úªá¡^. Sencha is green tea. Green tea is non-fermented¡]¨Sµo»Ãªº¡^and contains a high proportion of antioxidants¡]§Ü®ñ¤Æ¾¯¡^.

Miho: This is White Peony¡]¥Õ¯ù¨d¤¦¡^. White Tea can lower blood pressure and improve the function of the arteries¡]°Ê¯ß¡^.

Lily: Exactly. Close your eyes again please. Can you tell me what it is?

Miho: Hm...this is...Oolong tea¡]¯QÀs¯ù¡^! Iron Bodhisattva¡]ÅKÆ[­µ¡^ and Narcissus¡]¤ô¥P¡^ belong to this type.

Lily: Bingo! Close your eyes now.

Miho: Oh! It's my favourite lavender¡]ÂȦç¯ó¡^! Lavender tea helps to soothe¡]´î»´¡^ stress.

Lily: Yeah! We also have rose and rooibos¡]·NÄ_¡^.

Miho: You serve Assam¡]ªüÂÄ©i¡^ which is red tea. I am sure it's for making Hong Kong style milk tea.

Lily: Yes. My parents prefer black tea such as Pu Er¡]´¶¬|¡^.

Miho: Now. You have become a tea expert.

Lily: I can show you how to brew the perfect cup of tea.

Miho: Really? Thanks!
