Macao’s Tea Party: Celebrating Unity with ‘UniTea’ 🎉☕️
Hey friends! Do you love tea? 🍵 Well, guess what? Macao just celebrated its 25th anniversary of returning to China with a super cool event called ‘UniTea: Macao Tea Melody’! 🎉
The event was held at the Beijing International Sculpture Park and was all about bringing people together through tea. How awesome is that? ☕️❤️
Tea Bringing the World Together 🌍
Important people like Ms. Leong Kit Chi from Macao and Mr. Abdelkader El Ansari, the Ambassador of Morocco to China, sent video messages to celebrate. They talked about how tea connects different cultures and countries.
Did you know that Macao was a key port on the old Maritime Silk Road? It helped spread Chinese tea all over the world! 🌏
Morocco’s Love for Tea 🍃
Morocco, a country in Africa, loves tea too! Their special mint tea is made from Chinese green tea, sugar, and mint leaves. It’s so important that they drink it every day and share it with guests as a sign of friendship. 🥰
Fun Activities at the Event 🎭
At the UniTea event, there were so many fun things to do:
- A video tour of a Macao restaurant reimagining tea with new flavors! 🍰
- A short film called “The Journey of a Tea Leaf” showing how tea connects China and Morocco. 🎥
- Demonstrations of the magic kung fu tea ceremony from China’s Greater Bay Area. 🥋☕️
- Flower arranging with lotus flowers, Macao’s official flower. 🌸
- Beautiful music performances on the ancient guqin instrument. 🎼
Man vs. Machine! 🤖 vs. 👨
One of the coolest moments was a friendly competition between a tea master and an AI tea-brewing machine! Can you imagine? The machine was precise and quick, but everyone agreed that the human touch made the tea extra special. 💖
“The tea ceremony is not just about the tea; it’s about sharing stories and celebrating our common humanity,” said a guest at the event.
A Gift to Remember 🎁
At the end, everyone received special CGTN tea passports as souvenirs. The theme was “UniTea,” symbolizing how tea unites us all. ☕️🌟
The celebration wasn’t just about looking back at the past 25 years but also about looking forward to a bright future where we all come together over a warm cup of tea. 😊
