Shanghai: Cha Xuan




Cha Xuan is basically a very huge place (in terms of land size). Most of the space is dedicated to growing tea leaves. There are many aunties manually picking the tea leaves, after that the leaves are ‘fried’ to become tea leaves. Its a very labour intensive procedure.

Inside the place, there is a courtyard for tourist to taste the tea. Staff there will explain how to brew and taste the tea. Then they will ask ask u to buy their tea leaves (that goes without saying la....) and each of us went away with a few cans of them....

They call this guy 'cha sheng'...i dunno why too....
