Rousseau once said: The people who live the most meaningful life are not the oldest people, but the people who have the most feelings about life.
The same goes for tea. The more thoroughly we taste a cup of tea, the more thoroughly we can understand it.
Tea utensils: The most tangible thing about the taste of tea is these utensils set up for tea.
Speaking of which, whether it is the 28 types of tea ware created by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, or the 12 kinds of tea utensils created by the old man in the Song Dynasty, or the modern tea ceremony including more than 10 kinds of tea utensils, including water boiling vessels, tea brewing utensils, and tea cups, different materials and shapes, as well as the connection between them, all hide mysterious symbols.
The experienced tea drinker is the decipher of the symbol, and from the relationship between this pot and that cup, he slowly sketches the character and taste of the tea he is about to drink.
The choice of tea utensils is a reaction to the tea maker, and the tea maker's choice of utensils is considered from the tea product to be brewed and the brewing technique used, and further the influence of these factors on the tea is further perceived by the season and time, and finally presents a table of tea.
The sound of tea: Starting from the ignition of a branch of oil bamboo, in the wind of the goose feather fan, the flame of the oil bamboo rises from the bottom to the top with a wisp of white smoke, and the longan charcoal begins to pop, which makes people look forward to it.
Until there was a pop in the charcoal furnace, and the flames were firmly encircled between the charcoal lumps that gradually whitened the ground.
The water in the pot began to chirp, which was the sound of the so-called "pine wind".
If you calm down, you will hear completely different emotions on the tea table, vaguely and subtlely, but it allows people to clearly explore the most unconcealable heart.
Tea tasting: The ancients said the most straightforward about tea tasting.
"Drinking tea is expensive to have few customers, and the crowd is noisy, and the noise is tasteless. Sop alone and say quiet, two guests say win, three or four say fun, five or six say pan ......"
Thinking about it carefully, the deep meaning is not only to judge the difference between the elegance and vulgarity of drinking tea based on the number of people in the form, but to avoid the noise and return to the inner tranquility and sparseness is the original intention of drinking tea.
It's not easy to make a cup of tea.
From the beginning of picking tea leaves, there are at least a dozen processes.
The style of tea is rich and complex, not only reflected in the production process, many of which require years of precipitation.
Just as tea is not made in a day, tea should be brewed with one, two, or three brews...... The taste of tea comes out, and the aftertaste lasts for a long time.
