Tea should be careful to taste, thirst-quenching is only secondary. Wouldnt you know that one cup of tea is for appreciating, two cups of tea are for quenching-thirst of a fool,three cups of tea is for drinking a donkey. Water for tea. In the winter, collect the snow on the plum blossom and store it in a flower-Urn, bury it under the ground for five years. Spring is the best water for tea, snow and rain from sky come next. The soul of Tea Ceremony is sublimate by Melody. Tea ceremony without the rhythm likes Life without colour.
