Coventry exchange students experience Chinese tea culture
When a group of students from Coventry University were told that their Saturday would be spent visiting a tea museum, reservations were present in most minds.
Following a trip to the incredibly beautiful West Lake, the students were to pack onto the sweltering coach and move on to the Hangzhou National Tea Museum.
