As a traditional Asian drink, tea has been spread to the western world for many centuries.  However, its special flavour and culture attract more and more western people only in recent years. Different from the fast food and coffee culture, tea culture brings something special that people can turn to when they want to relax or when they want to slow things down. This month, two tea festivals were organized in two big Canadian cities – Vancouver and Ottawa.
