Life is like a pot of Tea; many drink it, but few truly understand it.
Drinking Tea is both a simple act and deeply philosophical. One can gain insights into life from the small Teapot and read the vicissitudes of life in the flavor of the tea leaves.
The fusion of tea leaves and water forms a unique tea broth, where varying intensities carry different life experiences.
Those who truly understand tea will better understand life.
Those who understand tea comprehend the ways of nature.
Tea is a perfect demonstration of the way of nature. Tea leaves grow naturally between heaven and earth, and no additional materials are ever added during processing.
There is no need for excessive fuss when brewing; just a pot and a cup suffice. Naturally brewed tea has a natural and pure taste.
Su Dongpo loved drinking tea. He wrote a poem titled “Washing Sand,” which includes the lines: “Drowsy from wine and weary on the road, I long only for sleep. As the sun climbs high and thirst strikes, I think of tea. I knock at a rustic door to ask for some.”
The leisure and vastness of heart are found in this one cup of tea.
Those who truly love tea can maintain their rationality and kindness in this noisy world. The character of tea resonates with that of the drinker. Tea is restrained, fragrant, and leaves a lingering aftertaste in its simplicity.
It does not compete but treats the world calmly.
What we call growth is experiencing the full spectrum of life's flavors—laughter and tears, sweet and bitter—without losing our passionate and bright hearts.
What we call enlightenment in tea is brewing a pot that reveals the full range of human experience—ups and downs, stillness and motion—washing away the restless and clamorous heart.
At every stage of life, there is bitterness and sweetness, but looking back in later years, we realize: all the hardships pave the path to success.
Those who love tea know that every cup of tea is made from fresh leaves picked and processed through various techniques.
Every harvest comes from hard work; every sip of tea depends on boiling water.
Why do we often say that tea is like life?
Because every cup of tea is bittersweet, just as different people experience a range of joys and sorrows within the same building. Many drink the tea of life, but few understand it.
Only after shedding vanity and superficiality do we begin to understand that drinking tea is also an attitude towards life.
Regular tea drinkers stand out in a crowd for their exceptional temperament.
Those who drink tea have broad minds and don't like to argue. They are restrained and don't boast, smiling softly in crowds without contention. Those who drink tea usually have higher cultural cultivation and behave appropriately.
Those who drink tea seldom get angry. They treat every infusion of tea with a calm mindset and apply the same mindset to people and events in life, cultivating a habit over time.
When you truly understand tea, your essence becomes distinct from others!
