For cooking lovers, the best way to celebrate birthdays is a table of yummy dishes, decorated nicely, and probably have a bit of drinking with best friends and lover. I always prefer to have my birthday party at home rather than go to a fine restaurant. Of course yesterday we had a birthday party, with cuties balloons, beautiful flowers, elegant musics, and for sure, an amazing dinner. 
The tradition of tea in East Asia Countries is pretty much similar with the tradition of coffee in Western Countries. I got a book introducing traditional teas from a local bookshop in South Melbourne. And after read it, I thought it would be meaningful to write some of my own understandings about Chinese tea cultures. I was born in a family which loves drinking teas. My dad has a room storing his tea collections, tea cakes and tea pots. He told me that teas have to be stored in a cool and dry place, so the first thing after he bought our new home last year was to arrange a tea room! It gets air cons all year around, and the temperature in that tea room is kept at 18 degrees 24hours a day, 7 days a week, and 52 weeks a year! My daddy taught me a lot of things about the tradition of Chinese teas, and therefore, I am now more like a tea girl rather than a coffee girl, which is quite different from most young generations! I also have a presentation corner at my Melbourne home, full with teas and tea pots that I brought from China. Friends like to have a peaceful Sunday afternoon, siting at the living room, talking and laughing, and drinking tea. Especially after a indulgent party with lots of yummy foods, meats and cakes, we always like to drink some tea, as the tea can nourishing our stomachs and get rid of most fats from our body.
