In the tea-picking experience area, under the guidance of parents, the toddlers picked the tea according to the “one bud and one leaf” standard. They can feel the tea fragrance within easy reach and learn about the history, species, planting, and characteristics of the tea, which can deepen their understanding of Chinese tea culture.
