Place of origin

China

Arise and seek the morning dew,
Fear not the puddles of rain.
Beauty lies not only in the lotus,
The petal also knows desire.

Look to the morning,
Morning bathed by sun.
Then summoned by the sunray,
The morning dew dances with the gentian.

It dances with herbs of the bitterest tastes,
It dances with the grasses of the crop fields,
It dances, blazes, laughs and rings.
This ballet shall be caught by no other.

A few words about Art tea
Sensitively gathered tea leaves and buds are arranged together with various dried flowers into floral forms by experienced artists. In water these creations sometimes form very complex floral, emotionally harmonised arrangements. Together with their appearance these teas offer a refreshing floral aroma and a refined, greenish-yellow infusion with a sweet, refreshing taste. In the times of the ancient culture, when people were more oriented towards the spiritual side of things and themselves, in contrast with today’s superficial existence, it was customary that when a man sated his body he also attempted to satisfy his soul. As a result in ancient monasteries (not only in Asia) monks were read to, for this reason in ancient China they invited a narrator to their table and thus a tea originated, which is able to please not only a person’s body but with its beautiful appearance also his mind.

Brewing guide
Prepare tested water for the tea infusion with which you have experience, or use ordinary tap water which has been left standing for a sufficient period, preferably overnight, ideally rid of chlorine. For the infusion use a transparent glass vessel, ideally with a content of approx. 500ml, with a height of min. 15cm and diameter of min. 10cm. Place the tea in the vessel and immediately after boiling pour on water so that it runs down the sides of the vessel and influences the tea with its stream as little as possible. A direct current of hot water could damage the tea.
