One-day tea farmer challenge in Shaanxi | 我在陕西做茶农

大家好，我叫杨惠斯，是一名来自印度尼西亚的国际留学生，现在西安交通大学读大三。我来到陕西西安已经三年，因为自己从小就对中国文化怀有极大的热情，我一直想要深入了解内涵丰富的中国茶文化，所以今天我决定前往陕西汉中，做一天茶农，感受一下中国茶人的真实生活，全方位认识中国的茶文化。

Hi, hi, hi! I’m Ketrin from Indonesia, currently in my junior year at Xi’an Jiaotong University. It has been three years since I came to China and this is the very first time I travel to Hanzhong, Shaanxi. Guys, let me tell you something. I have been in love with Chinese culture ever since I was a little kid. And today, guess what? I got a chance to learn more about the famous Chinese green tea —— Hanzhong Xianhao Tea. What’s special is I’ll make my own tea from scratch with my very own hand, right from the expert! So, one-daychallenge as a “tea farmer” sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

中国被称为茶的故乡，而陕西是中国最早种茶的地区之一，具有悠久的产茶历史和深厚的茶文化底蕴。

China is known as the hometown of tea, and Shaanxi province is one of the earliest tea-growing regions in China, with a long history of tea production and a profound tea culture.

汉中是中国江北茶区北缘最大的绿茶生产基地和汉茶文化发祥地之一。汉中茶具有“香高、味浓、耐泡、形美、保健”五大特点。

Hanzhong, on the northern edge of Jiangbei tea area in China, is the largest green tea production base where the tea culture of Han people originates and develops. Hanzhong tea has five special characteristics —— pungent, aromatic, long-lasting, exquisite, and salubrious".

为了能够更好的体验和了解“茶”的制作过程，今天我要在汉中找一位老师，让他带我好好体验一下中国“茶人”的生活！

In order to have a better experience and understanding of the tea processing, I know just the right person, one of the pros in town, who will introduce me what a day of a Chinese tea farmer is really like. I’m so excited, can’t wait for it, so let’s get started!
