About 40 local people participated in the event along with center staff.

During the activity, Zheng Wen, the center director, shared with the audience that traditional tea processing techniques and their associated practices in China were inscribed on the UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Nov 29.
