Macao Tea Culture House

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:53:09

Adjacent to the picturesque Lou Lim Ieoc Garden is this museum that introduces tea-drinking culture with exhibits of teapots and 'tea paintings'. The latter were produced by foreign and local painters (sometimes in a collaborative relationship) for sale to Westerners in China's trade ports. The museum is housed in a colonial mansion with southern European features and a Chinese tiled roof. There's free tea tasting every Saturday and Sunday, from 3 to 4pm.
