JEVOL management team held an annual team-building activity in Yixing at the last weekend, we went to a famous historical and cultural city, Yixing, Jiangsu Province, and also played interesting team games, as well as leisure activities.

Yixing is one of the largest tea producing area in China. Nearly 1.2 million square meters tea plantation there, known as the oasis of tea. Yixing tea has a history of more than 1800 years.Yangxian(the antient name of Yixing)Tea, Jinsha Spring and Yixing Clay Teapot are known as “three best things for tea drinking”. This time we went to the Hongling Tea Plantation, one of the top ten tea plantation in Yixing. The vast tea garden, with mountains as the background, and the ink-colored mountains surrounded by clouds after rain, fresh air let us forget noise of the city and the busy works.

“Utensils is the father of tea”, it is important to match good tea with a great tea set. Yixing clay teapot is a unique handmade clay handicraft in China. Its production began in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty（1506-1521 A.D）, the raw material of the clay teapot, is from Dingshu Town of Yixing. We also experienced handcraft of Yixing clay tea set. Although the time was limited and we can only complete one set of simple tea ware, while that raining morning makes us impressive, as if we were apprentices who are willing to devote their whole lives to achieve the most beautiful objects. In this impetuous society, the spirit of craftsmanship is very valuable, and for our manufacturing practitioners, this spirit is worth learning for life.

Playing team games together was the most fun part of the trip. It helps team members to know more about each other, seeing their humorous side, playing together also let us realize that strength of team can create miracles. We were divided into two teams and had several game competitions. The failed team need to take fitness exercise as punishment, we also need to realized that healthy body is always the root of all happiness.

We are also very serious in completing the game punishment task！！

Of course, barbecue and karaoke are indispensable for the party. Got a lot of chefs and Karaoke masters in our team!!!

Yixing, attracts a lot of poets and artists in the past thousands years, this trip also makes us feel more beauty in our life. Beauty, exist in life, can also be extended to our products and company culture, let’s explore a better world together!
