Life of Tea

Tea, is just a piece of leaf. It was first used as a detoxification remedy when human discovered it.

Thousands of years ago, it was made into beverage by the hands of the Chinese. It entered the palace of Tang Dynasty’s poets, and gradually became the most important drink for nomads.

It was tucked into the bags of monks, traveled eastward to Japan with the Buddha’s Dharma, and became a living faith for the locals.

Together with the porcelains, it boarded on the cargo ship in the Modern Navigation Times. It enriches the most refined and elegant British manners, and followed the empire’s footsteps, taking root around the world.

It went on such a long journey. Its life has been withered, reborn and blossomed again and again. Most people live a hectic life. Maybe tea is just reminding us that perfection can be touched in this imperfect life, as long as we reserve a time to brew a cup of tea for ourselves, with a peaceful mind.
