Wuzhong's favored ritual brews big bucks

China Daily  

A restaurant employee prepares babao cha in Wuzhong, the Ningxia Hui autonomous region. Morning tea is a ritual for many locals in Wuzhong, a city situated in the middle of Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region. "Local ethnic groups have been boiling tea leaves with red dates, wolfberries and dried fruit since the Tang Dynasty," says Jing Hongjun, secretary-general of the Wuzhong Restaurant Association. The noodle restaurants later began serving babao cha, side dishes and popular snacks, such as fried dumplings and steamed stuffed buns, to customers, facilitating the rise of Wuzhong's morning tea culture. "Morning tea is not only a part of catering culture, but it has also become a popular social practice among the younger generations," Ma Baojun says.
