since dedicating herself to promoting tea culture, zhang also feels a renewed sense of achievement.
"the most prominent evidence is that, during my school days, i never received any awards, but having opened the inn with jingshan tea at its heart, i have been granted multiple awards and honors, and the inn itself is prized as a municipal-level intangible cultural heritage featured inn," she adds.
"i truly feel that we're quite an excellent team, and this journey into tea has instilled a deep sense of confidence in me. i also acquired a deeper understanding of the richness of chinese culture and the true meaning of cultural confidence."
