While specific data on the exact number of cups consumed per person is not provided, Chengdu is recognized as one of the most tea-enthusiastic cities in China, boasting over 10,000 teahouses—the most of any city in the country. The city's deep-rooted tea culture is driven by its historical position as a major tea-producing region and a key hub on the ancient Tea Horse Road. Local residents are known for a "slow living" lifestyle where they spend entire afternoons in teahouses sipping varieties like Maofeng green tea infused with jasmine blossoms. Current trends show that this passion extends to younger generations as well; in Chengdu and other new first-tier cities, consumption is high across both traditional loose-leaf styles and "new-style" teas like bubble and fruit tea, with approximately 60.8% of consumers reporting regular consumption. This widespread availability and cultural emphasis on tea as a social staple suggest a very high daily consumption rate among its population of over 21 million people.
