Chinese teahouses are the traditional ancient cafes of the east,for getting together and chatting with friends and generally passing the time. In recent years the tradition has been refreshed,becoming fashionable in modern cities. "The teahouse has become a place for people to not only sip tea and relax,but also to experience Chinese culture,hold social activities,host private parties and conduct business negotiations."said Wu Xiduan,secretary-general of the China Tea Circulation Association. The teahouse recreates the charm of old Beijing,which makes it a must for foreigners,who,from around the world,may come to appreciate Beijing Opera,drama,acrobatics and other Beijing folk arts,as well as sip tea. Jasmine tea is the favorite of the charm of old Beijing,with its pure,clear taste and strong aroma.It's definitely on the menu at the Lao She Teahouse. Also,it would be a pity to miss the performance for the Xiao'ers while you're watching the shows.Every Xiao'er at the Lao She Teahouse carries a special copper pot with a meter-long spout.And they handle the scalding pot without spilling a single drop of water. Dawan tea is just as famous as the long-spouted teapot.The Chinese name means "inexpensive tea in a big tea bowl" and it was another old Beijing teahouse specialty.It's said that the founder of Lao She Teahouse,started his business by serving Dawan tea for just two cents each.And today it's the only teahouse still serving Dawan tea for two cents a bowl,even though there's no profit in it.

I love this post. It's great that You are refreshing Your traditions. I have met teahouses while reading books and they felt magic, I would like to come someday to a teahouse and feel its magic in reality.

Restoring traditions it's very important. In summer there was a programme on TVP (Polish station) about Beijing by reason of Olympic Games. There was pictured new, dynamic city, which has destoyed, in large part, traditional Chinese neighborhoods. In these n. people could live a peaceful life and chat, play with neighbours in the evenings. And old neighbourhoods have transformed into tower blocks. Bonds between people has weaken. It's sad. Does it look just like they have said in summer on TVP, Hawk?
