A greeting cup

Image may contain: coffee cup, drink and indoorYesterday was La Ba (臘八), La Ba is not a holiday but is the last mark of the yearly energy, it is the coldest day in a year according to the Chinese Lunar calendar.

Actually we had a very nice weather in Belgium yesterday. Just before we can cheer for “Ja”, hold on just a second, the temperature is dropping. So be aware when you go out, but don’t just stay in door all the time. Having some fresh air is healthy and having a good cup of tea that helps to stimulate the Yang energy definitely is a great treatment to yourself.

A nice cup of tea requires two basic elements:

  1. good quality of tea
  2. steeping tea correctly

Actually there is another critical element that is even more important —– Nice people who appreciate it

Raise my cup and wish you all a nice day.

She entered the tea learning in Taiwan since 1985, left her root because of marriage in 1991 helped her to expand her learning from original inward-out views to 360 degree. She started to promote the authentic knowledge about tea and wisdom in Chinese tea culture in Belgium since 1995. Tea has always been and will continue be her best teacher. In front of Nature and Tea, she remains as an innocent child, a life-time learning student.
