Shouldn't only men have their index finger on the brim of the teacup, while women should have the index finger slightly lower with the pinkie less scrunched to give the three dragons appearance? Either way, small detail that only purists are going to bother with but interesting little thing I heard a while back. Absolutely love Chinese tea. Spent more than I should have on tea, and teawares. Jin Jun Mei has to be my favourite tea, followed closely by most dan congs.
Beautiful ceremony, I love that you explained succinctly but in depth! A question, where did you get your timer from? I love its simplicity but have been unable to find one like it
Honey please do more this Tea ceremonys. I like all ASMR rituals - spiritual cleansing, tea, coffe, inscenses, candles etc.. Minimum 10 min, could be with female coment. I love to watch how You spent this hot water all over the place instead of just brew something and drink it.@@altitudetea
I LOVE the vibes! ☺ I absolutely love seeing others go through their own gong fu tea "ceremonies"!!! You have SUCH calming vibes, plus you explain what you're doing along the way... perfect 🤌🏽 and I love the Taiwanese smelling cups! Always wanted to try those.
Hey there! Thank you so much for the kind words! It warms my heart to hear that you enjoyed my vibes and how I conduct the gong fu tea ceremony 😊 Exploring the world of tea is such a delightful journey. The Taiwanese smelling cups is becoming not so mainstream in recent years but I find they add a big mindfulness component to the tea ceremony as it activates the touch senses. Rubbing them between the palms of your hands is like giving them a little hot stone massage :)
I enjoyed your subtle and methodic hand movements. But one thing I think I would be worried about is losing the sensitive aromas of the tea with that incense burning on the tea tray? I try not to mix any other smells in my tea room.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment @gamstercam. I totally get your concern about the incense possibly interfering with the delicate aromas of the tea. It's a valid point, and I appreciate your attention to detail in creating a pure tea environment. Everyone's tea journey is unique, and personal preferences certainly play a big role. In my tea ceremonies, I incorporate incense for various reasons. It helps cultivate a serene and meditative ambiance, elevating the overall experience. Additionally, incense has a symbolic significance in many cultures and traditions. It can be seen as a way to purify the space or as an offering, adding a spiritual or ritualistic element to the tea ceremony. I choose a subtle option, like fine sandalwood, ensuring it complements rather than overpowers the tea's aroma. This way, one can enjoy the benefits of incense while still savouring the tea's exquisite scents. Cheers to the diverse paths of tea exploration! 🍵✨
I am so grateful for this beautiful video 🙏 And I am also glad I stayed to watch it through to the very end. The note about practice and imperfection were just what I needed to hear, and the blooper just what I needed to see. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the video and that the message about practice and imperfection resonated with you. Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from embracing our mistakes and imperfections ;)
Hey Zaiderr for a 200ml pot, a general guideline is to use about 3-5 grams of green jasmine tea leaves. However, personal preferences vary, so feel free to adjust the quantity based on your taste preferences. As for the brewing time, 60 seconds is a good starting point. You can experiment with shorter or longer steeping times to find the flavor profile that you enjoy the most. Remember, tea brewing is a delightful journey of discovering your ideal taste, so feel free to tailor it to your liking. Enjoy your green jasmine tea! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and that the music worked well for you. You're absolutely right-musical preferences can be quite subjective, and it's fantastic to know that it resonated with your taste. Your positive feedback means a lot to me. If there's anything specific you'd like to see in future videos or any suggestions you have, feel free to share. I appreciate your support and look forward to creating more content that you'll enjoy!
As someone new to tea I loved seeing your video and explaining the mindfulness and relaxation of the ceremony. You speak very softly and enhance the experience. Thank you for teaching me to enjoy tea.
