Even tea gets high-tech touch

While the internet has transformed Wuzhen from a once tranquil water town to a magnet for technology tycoons, it has also helped to upgrade and transform the traditional industries in the city.

Phoenix Tea House, located beside the renowned Xizha resort in Wuzhen, is one that has linked traditional industries with the most-advanced online technologies. Established in East China's Shandong province in June 2014, Phoenix Tea House moved to Wuzhen in Zhejiang province in October last year.

Serving tea is the very basic function of the teahouse. Its importance is growing, however, as a platform serving as an incubator for startups.
