Chinese tea ceremony
Everything in China, as one of the most ancient civilizations, is filled with a special philosophy. This is told by numerous palace ceremonies and preserved rituals from the lives of ordinary people. In general, any ritual allows you to preserve ancient knowledge, at least mechanically.
And if we try to understand, for example, the Chinese tea ceremony, we will be amazed at the depth of this ritual.
The tea ceremony is beautiful, practical, and good for the soul and body. Hospitality in Asia is an important part of the mentality. Therefore, seating guests around a small table and filling their cups is considered a respectful service to the people who have come to your home.
Tea drinking in China is thought out to the smallest detail. The shape and size of the table, teapots and bowls were specially designed for this, and the tea plant is fermented according to ancient technologies. The sequence of actions of the entire ceremony is important: brewing and tasting.
Chinese tea is a special product that has a beneficial effect on our soul and body, it contains useful tannin. Traditionally, this drink is not supposed to be accompanied by any confectionery treats in order to fully experience its taste and aroma.
The tea ceremony does not tolerate vanity. Sitting down to drink tea, a person begins to prepare for a state close to meditation. Exquisite objects on the table make you admire them. And this gives a feeling of a beautiful and real world. Holding a refined little bowl with an aromatic drink in your hands, a person calms down, the noise of his thoughts stops, so as not to be distracted from what is happening here and now.
After a Chinese tea ceremony, you feel rested and energized. And a European who brews a tea bag on the run has something to learn from this.
