Tea (along with soy sauce, oil and vinegar) is one of the seven necessities of Chinese life. One sees the practicality of soy sauce, oil and vinegar. But what about a leaf in a bowl of water? Perhaps it is medicinal. Perhaps it is ritualistic. But it is not a convenience nor a quick fix to satisfy thirst. Tea ceremony is a communal experience—to serve and be served with something exquisite and refined.
