It is said that if you don't drink tea at the beginning of summer, you will suffer all summer. On the day of the Beginning of Summer, women would gather tea leaves from seven families and brew the tea together. It is said that drinking tea from seven families on the day of the Beginning of Summer can ensure that one will not feel sleepy throughout the summer.
