The ancient Chinese believed that tea is a precious gift bestowed upon humans by nature...
Growing in the mountains, nurtured by the sunshine and wind, and acquiring the essence of nature, tea encompasses the most positive elements of nature, and thus radiating a refreshing and graceful nature itself. Tea helps to calm one’s mind, body and spirit, helps cleanse and cultivate oneself and get away from the hassles of daily life, conforming with serenity and tranquility, the main characteristics of oriental philosophy, and self-reflection and cultivation of the Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian schools. From ancient times, through brewing, observing and drinking tea, the Chinese have learned to follow etiquette and manners, contemplate upon the meanings of life, cultivate in the Buddhist or Taoist schools, and thus improved one’s spiritual life as well as the fulfillment of one’s moral quality, in the process achieving harmony with nature. This is the spirit of tea.
