Tea Meets Water: A Fateful Encounter
Brewing New Tea: A Moment of Elegance
Drinking new tea is best on a fine day, using a glass teapot and cups to appreciate the scenery while brewing and sipping.
In April, put a few new tea leaves into the teapot, pour a little hot water first, and shake the teapot gently by its handle.
After the tea leaves fully unfold, fill the teapot to seven tenths full. In just a few seconds, a faint fragrance drifts out; closing your eyes and smelling deeply, you can feel a Zen-like aroma from the teapot, making the simple act of brewing with a glass teapot a graceful ritual.
Tea Meets Water: A Blooming Reunion
Tea leaves are like elegant, fragrant flowers—their subtle brewing happened long ago, and they bloom after vicissitudes.
When meeting water, though it is not spring, spring is clearly in the teapot; the leaves grow slowly again, fresh and plump, dancing up and down in the water.
The infused water, clear and rippling, is like a lake with aquatic plants, and the teapot holds this beautiful scene gently, making every sip from the teapot a taste of quiet beauty.
Tea and Life: A Shared Journey
The whole process of drinking tea is like a dream of meeting mountains and rivers, coming with fragrance and leaving with water, full of lingering meaning.
Tea and wine are similar—both are down-to-earth and real, carrying the flavor of life in a cup.
Storytellers in teahouses pour all joys and sorrows, past and present, into a teapot; as stories fade with the wind, the tea in the teapot also fades from fragrant to light, reminding us that nothing lasts forever under time’s gaze, yet the memory of the teapot’s warmth remains.
Destiny in a Teapot: Peace of Heart
Tea meeting water is fate, just like emotional fate in life—at first, boiling water and new tea entangle warmly, touching each other.
Later, those who cherish it will still feel the lingering fragrance, while those who are indifferent will let the fate end.
A cup of tea in hand holds the ups and downs of the world; sitting by the window, sipping slowly from the teapot, the water color in the cup, the fragrance on the lips, and the quiet in the heart bring peace.
With a teapot in hand, there is no need to ask where spring comes or goes—only peace, purity and tranquility remain.
