Speaking of afternoon tea, you may think of something elegant and trendy. But in Qingpu district in Shanghai, there are a group of grannies enjoying their village afternoon tea, which is called "Apo tea." This is a tradition which has been passed down for over 700 years. With a kettle with a blackened bottom, old people get together to drink tea while chitchatting about family affairs and gossiping. They also make refreshments by themselves.
