Savoring tea, gaining insights into the way of life.
2010-10-28
"Tea is 'medicine for health and a delight in life.' And yet, it’s something you grow to appreciate slowly—savoring tea is like getting to know a person; indeed, a person’s character mirrors the quality of the tea they enjoy.
'Tasting tea is like tasting people,' they say. Choose an environment that’s graceful, serene, and subtly elegant—a place where you can brew a fine cup of tea, immerse yourself in its tranquil atmosphere, and approach the experience with a calm, open heart. As you sip the delicate aroma, let it guide you in reflecting on life itself, uncovering its deeper meanings along the way.
When you drink tea alone, it’s not merely about quenching your thirst—it’s about appreciating the tea’s vibrant color, captivating fragrance, and exquisite flavor. It’s about savoring the interplay of bitterness, sweetness, and richness, while also embracing its understated elegance and harmonious balance.
Through this mindful practice, you begin to reflect on yourself, gaining insights that lead to self-awareness and personal growth. In this process, you come to truly understand the essence of tea—and by extension, the essence of life itself. Ultimately, you achieve a profound sense of harmony, connecting deeply with both the natural world and the universe around you."

What tea shouldn’t you drink? Which teas are unsafe to consume?
2010-10-28
Many cities have seen street stalls popping up, offering freshly roasted and sold spring teas on the spot. However, freshly roasted tea shouldn’t be consumed immediately after purchase. Not only is it intensely hot in nature, but since it hasn’t undergone oxidation yet, it contains high levels of polyphenols, as well as significant amounts of aldehydes and alcohols—compounds that can strongly irritate the stomach and intestinal lining, potentially leading to symptoms like stomach pain and bloating after drinking.
Moreover, freshly roasted tea also contains highly active ingredients such as tannins and caffeine, which may trigger “tea intoxication” effects like dizziness and weakness in the limbs if consumed in large quantities.
Therefore, it’s best to let freshly roasted tea sit for at least 10 days after purchase, allowing the polyphenol compounds to fully oxidize before brewing and enjoying it. Otherwise, consuming it too soon could actually harm your health.
