If you love Macanese egg tarts then make your way to #ChengduTeahouse to enjoy one - I recommend it with a pot of strong green tea or our sichuan peppercorn specialty chai ☕️

And just like that… Chengdu Teahouse is open! I’m so very grateful to all of the wonderful people who were there (in body, and my friends from afar who were there in spirit!) for the Grand Opening last night ✂️😄

Cheers Lansing! 🏮💖🫖🐉🍵

在“12·9”教案六周年前夕，成都秋雨圣约教会的会友们再次遭遇政府的严密监控和干扰。教会小组聚会的场地因警方骚扰而被迫停止使用，几位信徒在茶馆聚会时也被国保突袭，要求查验身份证并拍照。此外，教会多位同工被传唤或上门警告，禁止参与任何宗教纪念活动。
自2018年12月9日以来，秋雨圣约教会持续遭受政府的打压和逼迫。教会成员的生活和信仰活动受到严重限制，许多同工被拘留、传唤或遭遇其他形式的迫害。然而，教会始终坚守家庭教会的立场，坚持教会敬拜和教义的独立性，并持续为受逼迫的教会祷告。

Loving the moment of peace and calm when I can sit down on Tuesday evenings and enjoy a cuppa (this is our hibiscus rosebud blend) and chill out to the plucky tunes from Ally Fies @zar0chi 🎶

Brewed up a pot of aged white tea and dried orange peels — perfect for this light autumnal weather 🍊

This was the tea blend that everyone in Chengdu was drinking when I visited last month so not only is this beverage tasty and healthy, it is also very on trend 😄

Teenager喜欢喝香精，打工人又需要廉价咖啡因提神，所以可能星巴克瑞幸化确实能救星巴克中国业务。
国内很多快餐咖啡都奶茶饮料化了，星巴克我觉得是连锁咖啡厅而不是快餐咖啡，但没办法，老中没有咖啡文化，咖啡知识，一种高级一点的饮料而已。
老中有茶文化，但老中企业到现在都没有做出一个全国连锁或是全国知名的茶馆，说明了庞大的年轻消费者群体就是不需要能让她们慢下来品茗的饮料。
成都、苏杭那些茶馆，没几个年轻人，消费主力还是中老年人。

另一个和居民燃料有限相关的anecdote. 王笛的《茶馆》里面提到过，民国时期成都街巷遍布茶馆，提供的诸多服务之一就是开水。附近居民拿壶去打开水而不是自家烧。
另一个服务是提供灶头，有人家里要做烧炖一类需要长时间大量燃料的菜品的时候，可以把锅端去茶馆的大灶上去。算是规模效益提高能源利用率。也说明普通居民日常使用燃料非常局促。
