Wine with a true friend is never enough, one Cup of Tea with a kindred spirit can make you drunk.

The value of a friend doesn't lie in quantity but in quality. Some friends are not as intense as wine, but as elegant as tea, offering candid advice when you're triumphant and alleviating your worries when you're down.

A life encountering a few good cups of tea is joyful; having one or two true friends is more than enough.

There are two kinds of tea: one is the tea for daily sustenance—firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea; the other is the tea for leisure—music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and tea.

Tea can be the timely water that quenches your thirst when you're parched and hot. A big gulp serves to refresh your throat and heart, while the aroma and taste are secondary.

Tea can also be a slow-paced life that you savor, taking small sips, enjoying the leisure of watching flowers fall in an idle courtyard and tasting the lightness of clouds and the breeze.

To truly appreciate tea, you need to respect each type of tea wholeheartedly. Like meeting someone with whom you share a connection, regardless of their status, you can find something admirable about them.

To truly appreciate tea, you need to engage with it without pretense, much like how you would treat a friend. Once you understand their history, you appreciate their uniqueness and know better how to interact with them.

Each time you taste tea, it's both the first and the last. Whether it's shared among a few people or from the same pot, everything eventually dissipates with the fragrance of the tea, leaving only memories in the heart of each person.

No two cups of tea are exactly alike. Even if two cups are brewed from the same pot, the taste will differ based on the drinker's mood, experiences, and preferences, let alone the changes in circumstances, environment, time, mood, and encounters.

Sit quietly and listen to what the tea has to say. After thousands of years of sedimentation, the wisdom of tea surely transcends our imagination.

In the midst of a busy schedule, brewing a pot of strong tea, choosing a serene spot, and drinking it by yourself can eliminate fatigue, clear your mind, and invigorate your spirit. Or you can sip it slowly to achieve a sense of beauty and enjoyment;

Or perhaps Brew a cup of light tea, bask in the sun, and if you're in the mood, recite a poem. Drinking Tea and appreciating poetry can bring its own joy!
