Tea Arts 茶藝

13th International Wu-Wo Tea Ceremony,  Taipei, Taiwan, Summer 2011 第十一三屆 2011夏天 台北市 International Wu-Wo Tea Ceremony Chronicle ( 歷屆國際無我茶會舉辦日期與地點 )   Wu-Wo Tea Ceremony 1. “Wu-Wo” is a style of tea ceremony. People bring simple tea ware and enjoy tea together in a circle. When there are many people, we can make two or more circles. 2. Seats are determined by drawing lots, to see who will sit next to each other and who will serve tea to one another, no one knows before. There will be no class distinction and everybody just accommodates oneself to the circumstances. 3. After setting up the tea ware, we can appreciate other’s tea ware, and get to know one another. This session is called “tea ware appreciation and friendship time”. 4. When it’s “brewing time”, everybody goes back to their seats to make tea. There is no director at a Wu-Wo Tea Ceremony; everything is based on the “public announcement”. The aim of this is to develop participants to follow some conventi...

There are a few teas with a honey fragrance character that are naturally sweet and do not have any honey added, while fancy teas have their own unique primary processing there is something special that happens naturally before the processing, the tender tea leaves while still growing are visited by the tea leafhoppers and they suck a small amount of the tea leaf juices which causes the leaf to oxidize some and turn sweet, this happens to traditional white tip oolong(oriental beauty), and the newer  fancy black tea, fancy green tea, and fancy oolong tea. 照片photos

Jones 陸羽風爐組 Lu Yu Tea Brazier 陸羽風爐形體是運用唐朝《陸羽茶經‧四之器》一篇描述的風爐形體， 結合現代茶道具功能而設計。 The style of LuYu tea brazier is based on the one which is described in “Lu Yu’s Tea Classic, in the fourth chapter Utensils” during the Tang Dynasty.Its design also combines the function of modern tea ware. 風爐象古鼎形，三足分別云：坎上巽下離於中（坎象徵水，巽象徵風，離象徵火。 那麼水在上面煮，風從底下送，而火在中間燃燒。這句是用來表示風爐的作用。）； 體均五行去百疾（風爐煮出來的茶，是包含了金、木、水、火、土等的五種元素， 喝了以後，可使身體五行的循環均衡，百病不生）；二○一○陸羽起造。 The brazier is shaped like an ancient Chinese three -footed cooking vessel; each foot has a Chinese character: “Kan on the top, Xun at the bottom,and Li in the center;” (“坎Kan,” “巽Xun,” and “離Li” are three signs of the 八卦Eight Trigrams. “Kan” symbolizes Water; “Xun” symbolizes Wind, and “Li” symbolizes Fire.

below  is a repost from (as of aug2010) Here. >>> 07.02.10 Tea Appreciation Day posted by Dianna Harbin | I have come up with a concept. It isn’t unique or even entirely original, but it is certainly bold. And why not be bold? Don’t a lot of great things happen that way? I’ve decided to promote an annual worldwide event to honor Camellia sinensis and all those who work so hard to bring this versatile, labor-intensive wonder to our tables and to our awareness. The first event will be May 8, 2011. This post is about the process of “creating” this special day. For a little over a year, I have been organizing face-to-face tea group activities in San Diego. I recently started tea activities in San Francisco. I plan to start in the greater Los Angeles area this summer. The groups all have the same basic mission - to create community through tea, to help people learn about tea, and to support tea businesses, especially the local ones. An unspoken mission is to promot...

Thanks to the efforts of  Devan and Reena Shah owners of Chado Tea Rooms.  The grand opening of the Chado of Hollywood had a tea tasting lead by guest speaker James Norwood Pratt, and excellent tea, light and delicious tea foods, and of course tea friends and atmosphere.  The cups are small which allows one to try many teas.  It is clear that we are building the tea bridge; Mr. Pratt has a new book out which is very important for the expansion of tea culture and the tearoom Chado with a clear and complete tea menu and having descriptions of all its teas laid out in detailed yet understandable terms makes drinking tea a learning workshop for beginners and pure enjoyment for connoisseurs. Going back in time just ten years ago, this would have never been possible or thought of, talking about Puer teas, and yellow teas, and such. All of us in the tea community have a responsibility of sharing our knowledge, simple as it might be; even just sharing a cup of tea with ...
