Recommended Tour: Taoism, Tea and Traditional Chinese Medicine Time: 5 hours “Tea, like wine and coffee, has long been the medium for conversation and sharing. In China, tea is also associated with spiritual practices and a holistic approach to health. Let’s explore this complex relationship at a Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacy and Taosim temple to learn how their practices have influenced tea culture. We’ll enjoy lunch and a tea ceremony surrounded with dramatic antique carvings and cultural elements. Sample different teas and discuss the history, legends, and health benefits of each. We’ll also visit Shanghai’s only former Confucius school to learn how scholars and tea are related.
