Twenty-year-old men are "Rain Flower Tea" - first experiences of emotion, utterly genuine and pure, with bright flavor and fresh fragrance;
Thirty-year-old men are "Biluochun Tea" - life experience is a process of eliminating the coarse and preserving the essence, removing impatience while retaining aroma, thus possessing unique beauty;
Forty-year-old men are "West Lake Longjing Tea" - perfection embodied in simplicity, nobility reflected in maturity, yet this nobility remains approachable and intimate;
Fifty-year-old men are "Oolong Tea" - having experienced life's trials and countless events, they don't need excessive display, as genuine feelings flow naturally;
Sixty-year-old men are "Keemun Red Tea" - harmonized by nature, absorbing the essence of sun and moon, with rich and profound flavor;
Seventy-year-old men are "Silver Needle White Tea" - no need to see the whole person, just glimpses can outline their entire elegance, with humanity floating beyond their physical form;
Men over seventy blend the mellow aromas of all teas, observing everything that passes with ultimate understanding.
Tea comes in various grades, and so do men. Truly good tea can withstand the test of boiling water, and truly good men must similarly endure the erosion of the complicated mortal world, maintaining clear vision and pure heart, free from desires and cravings, preserving their innate nature - but how many such men can be found among ten thousand? Tea leaves float up and down in the cup, spreading their aroma - at first glance they all look similar, but to distinguish quality from mediocrity requires careful tasting.
Beautiful and romantic women are like "Afternoon Tea" - requiring a good mood to appreciate. Outside the window are soft sunlight and flowing crowds, beautiful women leisurely and elegant. Slender fingers holding the cup, enjoying the brilliant movements of life.
Virtuous women are like "Morning Tea" - a necessary meal to start the day. Like the indispensable warmth of a family, very real.
Well-organized women are like "Evening Tea" - knowing both self-discipline and how to create atmosphere. After a busy day, they reveal another side under dim lighting, relaxing like lazy cats.
The most tragic women are like "Overnight Tea" - they steep themselves in a cup of forgetfulness-water, tea leaves experiencing intense expansion followed by endless neglect. Like昙花一现 - a moment of intense intoxication exchanged for prolonged solitude. Tea leaves display desperate postures in cold water, heralding women's eternal tragedy.
"Kuding Tea" - slightly bitter at first taste, then sweetens to the heart. Often, we become impatient with mother's nagging. Only after repeated setbacks do we suddenly realize - as if mother had reminded us long ago.
"West Lake Longjing" - the finest grade of green tea. Watching the clear, translucent tea, wisps of delicate fragrance rising, the ancient beauty Xishi comes to me - like a lotus emerging from clear water, natural without adornment. Such pure beauties are hard to find, just like the highest grade West Lake Longjing - rare and precious.
"Keemun Red Tea" has always been afternoon tea in Western countries. Like those women who go abroad for prestige - batches of movie stars and singers pursuing dreams overseas. Some achieve success and fame, some return quietly. A cup of Keemun Red Tea says everything without words.
Fine tea has always resembled beautiful women. Tea grows on high mountains, matures in secluded valleys, dwells among forests. Emerging from Lu Yu's "Classic of Tea," it drinks in the essence of mountain spirits and water beauty, brimming with human emotions.
