The beginning of autumn, marking the gentle transition of seasons, quietly descends upon the river of time.
It is not just a whisper of time but also nature's most delicate brushstroke, sketching out canvases that gradually turn golden across all living things.
When the autumn winds rise, the summer heat slowly fades away; the sky is as if washed clean, clouds drift leisurely, and it seems even the air takes on a hint of coolness and freshness.
In these days when the essence of autumn grows stronger, Tea becomes the most tender bridge connecting humans with nature.
The tea of the beginning of autumn is not just a beverage; it is a profound dialogue about the changing of seasons and the cycle of life.
Autumn teas, especially those like Tieguanyin and Pu'er that have weathered the scorching summer and bloom gracefully in the autumn breeze, seem to be gifts specially prepared by nature for this season. Each leaf carries the sedimentation of time and the bounty of the land.
Brew a pot of Autumn Tea, observe its color—bright gold, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the warm autumn sun; inhale its aroma—rich yet elegant, as if it could transport you through time and space to experience the freshness and freedom of the mountains and forests.
Sip gently, let the tea glide over your tongue, full-bodied with a hint of sweetness, a taste unique to autumn, a joy of harvest, and a tranquility of time.
The start of autumn is also a season for the transformation of one's state of mind. The clamor of summer gradually recedes, replaced by inner peace and calm.
At this time, find a secluded place, whether it be a deep courtyard or a tranquil bamboo grove, brew a good pot of tea, and let your thoughts wander with the fragrance of the tea.
Watch the tea leaves gently swirl in the water, like dancers on the stage of life, performing their own stories; listen to the wind, bird songs, and the aroma of tea weaving together into the most melodious symphony of nature.
The beginning of autumn and tea together weave a poem about seasons, life, and emotions. Tea is not only a gift from nature but also a carrier of life's philosophies.
At this turning point of the beginning of autumn, tea teaches us how to savor every moment of life, how to find inner peace amidst the hustle and bustle, and how to maintain an unchanging heart in the midst of change.
As the ancients said, “When the autumn winds rise and white clouds fly, grass and trees turn yellow and wild geese return to the south.” At this beginning of autumn, let us accompany ourselves with tea, savoring the simplicity and ease of “picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge, looking up to see the southern mountains.”
May the tea's fragrance linger, not only warming this autumn but also illuminating our path ahead.
