Tea Road

China, obviously, is the birthplace of tea and has a long history. However, as the pace of life gets faster and faster, people have no patience with the way of brewing tea, and in the early 20th century, tea bags first appeared in the United States, which gradually replaced the traditional way of brewing tea. It’s a reflection of the phenomenon of globalization. Globalization may result in the flattening or dilution of customs that are specific to a given culture while extending them across cultures. Of course, people should experience the customs of different cultures but the same time thy should respect the origins of the custom. A thought provoking problem was the way of tea brewing has changed over the years and the reasons for those changes. The idea is to encourage people to appreciate the significance of tea making and drinking and to slow down and enjoy the ritual. The project is named Tea Road, which represents the long history of tea, and at the same time plays an important role in life.
