History of Yangzhou morning tea: Yangzhou morning tea is a folk food custom that follows the style of Huaiyang cuisine, which even Emperor Qianlong never forgot.

Morning tea, Chinese social eating custom.

The custom of morning tea is more common in southern China, especially in Guangdong and Yangtai areas of Jiangsu.

When talking about the traditional culture of Guangdong, morning tea is one of the most prominent features.

“In the morning, skin contains water, and in the evening, water contains water.” Representatives of Yangzhou cuisine recommend morning tea.

A cup of fragrant tea in the morning, chatting while eating and drinking, and a bath in the bathhouse in the evening, it's just like this.

Although Yangzhou today has long lost its aura of wealth, its morning tea culture has not been lost at all.

The famous Fuchun Tea House in Yangzhou has a very unique tea couplet, which bluntly says: Meat-free dishes are also possible; elegance and blandness are hard to come by.

The ancients said: "If you have a hundred thousand guan, you can ride a crane to Yangzhou." Nowadays, you don't have to have a million guan to go to Yangzhou to taste the delicious food.

I got up early to catch the intercity high-speed train, braved the drizzle and came to Yangzhou to have morning tea, hold a cup of green tea, taste some snacks, and watch the willows by the river dripping water condensed by the drizzle. Time slowed down!

Drinking morning tea in Yangzhou is all about this slow "leisure".

The popularity of Yangzhou's morning tea culture also stems from the leisurely elegance of the Yangzhou salt merchants in the past. "In the morning, water is in the skin, and in the evening, the water is in the skin." At that time, Yangzhou was really the most exciting place in Jiangnan Province.

With a cup of tea in hand and two or three close friends in front of you, the leisurely feeling is so nostalgic in this "busy" era.

So when eating Yangzhou morning tea, don’t rush for time, take your time and savor the taste.
