Tastes of France, California and osmanthus
Yunnan province's city of Pu'er, which is also the name of China's most famous and expensive fermented black tea, is for the first time holding an exhibition about another world famous beverage: French red wine.
Themed "when tea culture collides with wine culture", the exhibition showcases more than 300 tools that are used to make Bordeaux wines as well as hundreds of images and illustrations at the Pu'er City Museum. The show will run for two years till December 2018.
With 18 months of planning, the exhibition is curated with six themes including a comparison of the cultivation of grape wines and pu'er tea, the bottling of red wine, and the tasting similarities of red wine and pu'er tea. A special logo is also designed for the exchange program, with grapes leaves growing harmoniously on the same tree with tea leaves.
