Not understanding Pu'er tea doesn’t prevent anyone from enjoying the pleasure it brings. Tea is China’s national drink, and the number of tea drinkers grows yearly. Yet, many people hesitate, saying they don’t understand tea even as they drink it casually. Whether this caution stems from humility or not, understanding tea isn’t crucial for most. If a tea tastes good and you enjoy it, that’s enough.

Tea isn’t homework or a constraint; you don’t need to "understand" it to enjoy it. Tea is about pleasure. Approach it with relaxation, and over time, you’ll naturally understand more. Starting with the assumption that you don’t understand creates a barrier, making it harder to appreciate.

People might assume those who work with Pu'er tea daily or speak about it expertly must know it well. But when pressed, most admit their knowledge is limited. This isn’t modesty—Pu'er tea is vast and complex, each variety unique, like people. Who can claim to understand everyone? Whether you understand tea or not, what matters is drinking it daily. With good tea, solitude brings serenity, companionship brings joy, and company brings refinement. Stealing moments of leisure in a busy world is one of life’s great pleasures.

However you look at it, tea’s ultimate purpose is to be drunk. Whether for the powerful or ordinary people, tea is about taste. Drinking tea should be relaxing, enjoyable, and healthy. Forget the mystique of Pu'er tea. As the market buzzes with profit-driven motives, may all tea lovers approach it with simplicity and health in mind, truly finding wellness and happiness in every cup.

Tea is said to cultivate the mind. When drinking tea, set aside your status, vanity, and greed. Tea cannot bear such weight. Only in calmness can one find true delight in tea.
