  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • I grew up in a small town tucked in the hills in southern China.

  • And like many southern chinese towns, tuck in the hills.

  • We produce tea as one of our local specialties.

  • As a kid, I always thought tea is for middle aged or older people who sit in the office all day and have nothing better to do than sip tea.

  • Then I grow up, travel the world, and see that tea is such an important commodity in trade and even more important carrier of diverse cultures.

  • There's more to it than you think.

  • Hello, I'm Lai Ming, and this is roundtable today with new hauling and Gao Jungya.

  • We echo or inspire your interest in tea.

  • We begin with a question that puts you guys on the spot.

  • Do you drink tea?

  • I mean, there was a fun exchange before the show with Jung ya, who said, well, she drinks tea.

  • Yes, I do.

  • But not sipping, you know, just maybe gulping.

  • Oh, cool kind of thing.

  • Yeah, tea.

  • Nowadays, I've been drinking this called black tartary buckwheat tea.

  • Okay, where is it from?

  • I think it's from Sichuan in southwestern part of China.
