中國人的日常生活中，茶無處不在。在家里、工作場所、茶館、餐館和寺廟中都供有泡茶和煮茶，構成了社交、婚禮和祭祀等儀式中的重要社交元素。

Based on natural conditions and local customs, Chinese tea producers have developed six categories of tea - green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black - and there are other varieties like flower-scented teas, and more than 2,000 tea products.

根據自然條件和當地習俗，中國的茶商制出了六大類茶葉——綠茶、黃茶、黑茶、白茶、烏龍茶和紅茶，還有其他品種，如花茶，以及2000多種茶產品。
