MARCH 2009 As well as other cultural events we are honored to participate and will be presenting: a Tea Site, Theme-Scholar Tea. Tea Master Instructor Steven R. Jones and Tea Master Chang Li-Hsiang ( 張麗香), organizer Shirley Chu . ========= Theme: Scholar Tea. When tea savoring swept though China, it became a wonderful substitute for wine. Tea has been a drink that awakens the body first, then the mind, and ultimately the human spirit. Savoring a bowl or cup of tea in solitude or among colleges has spawned inspiration often. Simple tea drinking is perhaps how these classic literati or scholars got their ideas. It is well known the “Four Arts(Treasures) 四藝 of the Scholar”. The scholars, scholarly civil servants, or literati of Imperial China, where all schooled in Confucianism known as the School of Literati. In early China the term refers to the class of people that went through traditional Chinese education. There were sets of Chinese civil service examination, including Chinese li...

Tea can be more than a drink; it can be a way of conveying philosophical concepts, or a device to create a ceremony around or to honor something. In China, what started out as a food and medicine, for common people, then used by monks to help them study, later to become a skillfully processed item available for the royal families and upper class. To the simple Daoist, tea is natural, simple, and for drinking. So, for Chinese, tea is not just a beverage, it is a combination of Chinese Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Tea and Daoism Daoism is a philosophy/religion. In Chinese, Dao literally means path or way, and also meaning principle. Daoism means the essence of the universe and living with natural way of things. Tea Dao is a way of living with tea and becoming part of the person’s life habits; I have a saying "Tea is our Bridge". Now in Japan the adopted word Dao and referred it to something has a form/custom/ceremony with strict movements and some skill sets, "Cha...

What about " tulipomania " and puerh 1999-2007 the Puerh Boom, then the bubble pops. Sounded great buy bricks of black gold and make money. It works great until the greed over takes, and there's no time for sound thinking; because you gotta buy before the price goes up more or the puerhs are sold-out. This is not a new story. Just look now at the housing/stock market. But a Masterpiece Puerh will always be a Masterpiece Puerh . And now prices are back down to preboom prices, and the new puerhs are getting better do to production and aging skills. And still wild or semi-wild puerhs are becoming scarce and their prices will continue to increase slowly. Buy Puerh because you like drinking it. I personally have Puerhs in Taiwan, cozy aging. But if you plan on doing your own aging do you homework first. This bubble mostly hurt the ones that bought in 2007, but so, let it ride(age), and drink some. The biggest problem was 2006-2007 there were "not all but"man...

Post Fermentation Tea Process. Discussion on the way to recognize different Puer varieties (color, aroma, and taste). How to store Puer Teas. If good quality tea leaves with correct processing is obtained a puerh tea has the potential of becoming better through satisfactory aging parameters. Green Puer Tea: tea total sum aging of five to seven years, (including factory, teashop, and private collector storage time), can be a fine tea. Dark Puer Tea: tea total sum aging one to three years, (including factory, teashop, and private collector, storage), can be a fine tea. ***Green Puer: tea harvest- fixation - rolling – compressing or loose shaping – drying - aging - packaging (should age some, up to 30 years is sufficient and can become a masterpiece tea) Post Ferm...
