Tea has been a deeply-rooted part of Chinese life since it first rose to popularity more than 1-thousand years ago, during the Tang Dynasty. There's white tea for spring, green tea for summer, oolong tea for autumn, and black tea for winter.

You may even have your own favorite variety. And with tea there are always teahouses popular with locals and visitors alike, from farmers and workers to celebrities like former US President Geoge W. Bush and Queen Rania of Jordan. On today's China Cool, we take a closer look at one of the most popular teahouses in Beijing -- the Laoshe Teahouse.
