Features: The ultimate purpose of tea art is to brew every cup of tea well. Let your eyes, mouth, nose, hands, and heart all enjoy the pleasure of tea. Good tea is a sudden arrival of happiness, a personal feeling, with no specific standards to measure. What matters is your heart. Lu Tong's "Song of Seven Cups of Tea" says that when drinking tea to the seventh cup, one feels "only the gentle breeze of emotion rising in both arms." This state is almost like being an immortal, where worldly affairs can all be abandoned. We usually call those who take tea seriously and understand tea "tea appreciation," as if it contains some profound mystery. Entering a tea art studio to drink tea, watching the tea lady brewing tea slowly and gracefully. Whether it's the bright red Pu-erh; the vibrant green green tea; the dancing Junshan Silver Needle; or the heart-warming Keemun Red, the music in the ears, the tea in the cup, the beautiful tea lady, the gentle joy, and the refreshing fragrance that seeps into the soul—before you know it, you forget where you are. Tea in the eyes, tea in the mouth, tea in the heart. "Having good tea to drink and knowing how to drink good tea is a blessing." This is the sentiment of Mr. Lu Xun. In fact, this blessing should be enjoyed by everyone. This blessing is what our nation has left for every one of us.
