Abstract: As a social phenomenon, tea culture is the product of long-term formation. The fine Chinese tradition has nurtured the rich Chinese tea culture. The Argentine yerba mate has also been endowed with profound cultural connotation and emotional value in the development of history. Although there are differences between Chinese and Argentine tea cultures in terms of origin, drinking methods and social functions, they all reflect the cultural characteristics and historical heritage of their respective countries. By reviewing the development and evolution of Chinese and Argentine tea cultures in different historical backgrounds, this paper discusses their social values and spiritual connotations, with a view to promoting intercultural communication and understanding.
