Tea and people share many common traits. Each different type of tea has its own unique disposition, and these dispositions share common characteristics with human personalities. Each type of tea can also represent a person's character traits.
For example, Tieguanyin. People similar to Tieguanyin are more honest and straightforward, but they are tactlessly frank, saying whatever comes to mind. They are daring explorers and idealists, willing to use their loyalty to defend their firm ideals. Once they find a goal, they will face it with full commitment. Tieguanyin has a rich and firm aroma that, in both smell and taste, gives people the desire to explore deeply. It is a symbol of exploration and pursuit.
Raw Pu'er tea symbolizes independence. The raw Pu'er tea tree is an arbor-type large-leaf variety, somewhat resembling a camphor tree in appearance. It symbolizes a highly independent personality, talented and strong-willed. It can objectively and calmly handle others' difficulties, without imposing its own will. It embodies the quality of "do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself." It gives those around a sense of calm and certainty, neither self-protective nor extroverted. With its excellent and generous principles, it is deeply loved by all.
The characteristics of ripe Pu'er tea are not as outstanding as those of raw Pu'er. Ripe Pu'er represents two extreme personalities: one is the pessimist, prone to getting stuck in a rut, with extreme and gloomy tendencies. The other is the extreme optimist, who is careless about everything, indifferent to all, immersed in their own fantasies, and lacking motivation for current life. Although ripe Pu'er tea is good, its disposition is not widely favored.
White tea has the most healing personality. It is the happiest tea, with a cheerful nature and a great sense of humor. It always creates a good atmosphere in a group and is the life of the party. With a wide variety of interests and hobbies, it enjoys all the pleasures of life. However, it also tends to use laughter to cover up its inner feelings and to avoid and ignore the dullness of life. Although this personality has its merits, it can also lead to avoidance and an unwillingness to face problems.
Which tea does your personality resemble the most? Tea is like people, and people are like tea. All things in the world share many commonalities, cherishing each other and never forgetting one another.
