Sanpaotai is the most distinctive tea in Lanzhou. When you drink it, you must cover the bowl and hold the bowl holder by hand. You can gently open the floating tea in the bowl with the bowl cover and sip it carefully. The clear tea fragrance and slightly sweet fruit fragrance are full of mouth, hence the name Sanpaotai.
The ingredients of Lanzhou Third Battalion are not limited to several kinds, but each formula contains good green tea, medlar, longan and rock sugar.

The local Hui people will add chrysanthemums or roses to their tea when they drink the Three Batteries, which will make the tea fragrance richer and more romantic.
