"O.k. the last drink name I'm going to teach you is the "jasmine tea", "mo li hua cha". "Jasmine tea", "mo li hua cha" is also very easy to understand because "mo li hua" is the "jasmine". It's the flower "jasmine" and "cha" of course, is "tea" and "mo li hua cha", "jasmine tea", is very popular in the north of China. It's scented, it's also called "scented" because the tea is very very fragrant and "mo li" both contain the flower stroke here and the lower part of "mo" is written like this. You need to pay attention to here that the first the horizon stroke should be longer than the second. Don't write it like this, this in not "mo", this will become a different character in Chinese. So "mo" and "li", lower part of the character "li" is pronounced as "li" so this is the pronunciation part. "Hua" "flower" and "cha" because we have already learned "mo li hua" or "mo li" for "jasmine so now when you put "mo li hua" and "cha" together that becomes the "jasmine tea". So the more you learn the better you will become in producing Chinese letters. "Mo li hua cha", let's write it again. O.k. "mo li hua cha" this is the "jasmine tea" in Chinese."
