The Chinese transformed the habit of drinking tea into a sophisticated ritual. Visiting a tea house in Xian is a must because here, in the northwest, tea is prepared differently from other regions. Besides enjoying a cup of tea you can also experience a traditional theatrical performance.

Jinxiu is famous for two things: flavored and Kung Fu teas. The scented ones represent a blend between several types of tea from different regions, herbs, flowers, oils and fruits.
