CHENGDU -- Stylish tea-brewing robots are injecting new life to century-old tea artistry in a cultural festival in Chengdu City of southwest China's Sichuan Province.

For people in Chengdu, tea is more than a drink. It's a way of life that permeates every aspect of their daily routines, from bustling street corners to serene city parks. 

Rooted in Sichuan's history over a century ago, the art of tea pouring using long-spouted kettles has captivated audiences with its elegance, all while serving a practical function of cooling the boiling water to the perfect temperature for teas. 

Holding the long, gleaming spout felt a bit like wielding a sword - graceful yet demanding. But even a craft as hands-on as tea pouring is getting a high-tech twist.

In another booth of the exhibition, a tea-making robot handles the entire process - boiling, brewing, and pouring - with impressive precision. Its moves may be mechanical, but customers say the tea still tastes just right. 

The tea-brewing robot is just one part of a bigger vision. 

Relaxing in a massage chair that simulates traditional Chinese techniques, people can immersing themselves in the warmth of tea poured by a real person while embracing the futuristic allure of a teahouse where tradition and innovation coexist seamlessly.
