The cultural value behind this ceremony is deeper than the ceremony it self. Some crutial chapters of Chinese history has been define bt the cerrmony. Art.
this was beautiful! please make more! I would also love to see a ceremony video where the sounds of the tea pouring etc are there... not just the music sound track. The shots were stunning and your whole style was so beautiful and calming, thank you!
That was ridiculously relaxing & now I’m mad I’ve been making tea wrong for half my life. Lol. Lovely video. Now I have to go buy tea stuff to go with my 100 tins of tea I already own. Turns out digital electric kettle isn’t nearly enough. Lol.
It might work with darjeeling tea but definitely not assam tea as darjeeling tea is the fragrant leaf tea unlike assam's strong liquor leaf, favourable for milk tea
Mrs. Si Chen, it's a very, very beautiful vídeo. I subscribed your channel after watching it. It would be an honor to have a tea the way that was shown in the video.
Wonderful! 😍 So beautiful and meditative, it remainds me that I really need to come back on relaxing gong fu cha time. Thank you so much 😊❤️ Hope to see more videos like this, come back! 😭
wow this really moved me and has inspired me greatly. I will start my white tea ceremonies very soon and they will be inspired by what I have seen in your beautiful video. Could be you be so kind as to let me know where I can purchase such lovely teaware?
I love tea! I just subscribed! As I also find the making of tea! Especially Chinese and Japanese way so so relaxing yet motivating. Love the tea ambience and music as well as the artful way this is done.
I feel this style of tea making is a form of meditation. Its not just making tea. The process seems to make one slow down, be focused, and in the present. It seems to convey the message that patience rewards you in the end. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I make tea. Thank you for sharing this lovely video. 🥰
Yes it is meditative. Tea to Chinese is a time for contemplation, meditation, as well as for celebration. It can be formal, or it can be casual, but never crass or "on-the-go." To have tea served like fast food and in a hectic manner is to lose one's way. To lose touch with one's spirit. Tea is the drink of the spirit and should be treated with respect.
Сколько видео пересмотрела, но Ваше видео самое лучшее...Очень красиво очень иныормативно и в тоже время просто волшебно, заставляющее задуматься...Благодарю Вас❤❤❤
Why would you use a Japanese Kyusu for this. It would seem to me that a Gaiwan or a Yixing Clay pot would have been more fitting of a Chinese Tea Ceremony.
@@pyoccho5688 be carefull tho, its really addicting:)) i now got 2 entire shellfs just for tee and pots:) spent like 3000 Franks the past 12 months:))))
I admire the Chinese Tea ceremony. This video is amazing. Can i use some of your footage for this community video i am working on? I love how you shot it, very outstanding! Keep it coming.
I'm not sure if Si Chen watches Samurai Jack, if she doesn't then I think she's probably reading these comments right now and is like "Why is everyone saying that this video is terrible?". BTW, great video, very educational, and good for people who wants to try this tea ceremony.
Como ella no lava los trastes!😂😂😂 Al terminar la ceremonia me tendrían que despertar porque es muy tardado esperar . O dan canapés antes para aguantar tanto tiempo ?😂😂😂 Lol
Chinese people are used to serving tea to guests and have formed a corresponding tea etiquette. For example, when inviting a guest to drink tea, the cup should be placed on the tray and offered with both hands. The cup should be placed in front of the guest's right hand. When talking and drinking, the guest should be provided with water in time. The guest should be good at "taste", sipping tea slowly and taking small mouthfuls instead of gulping it down.
NOURISHING MINDFULNESS with TEA MEDITATION “Creating your daily tea ritual: Set aside a time each day to practice mindful tea drinking. It might be in the morning to energise yourself for the day ahead, in the afternoon to de-stress and ground yourself at work, or in the evening to calm your mind and body before bed. 1. Place a spoonful of whole loose leaf Bodhi tea in your favourite teapot. 2. Smell the aroma of the dried leaves as they settle in your teapot. 3. Listen to the sound of the water being poured over the leaves. 4. Observe the beauty of the leaves swelling and expanding. 5. Think about the leaves being handpicked from organic tea farms around the world. 6. Watch the water change colour and the steam rise from the pot. 7. Listen to the sound of your tea being poured into your favourite cup. 8. Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit, take a deep breath in and exhale, expelling any feelings of stress and tension in the body. 9. Feel the smoothness of your cup in your hands and on your lips as you take your first sip. 10. With each mouthful feel the warmth of the tea move from your mouth to your stomach, then disperse through your body. 11. Savour each mouthful, appreciating its rich flavour and aroma. 12. Bring your focus to your body and how the tea makes your feel - calm and relaxed, or energized and alert. 13. Pay attention to what feelings the tea evokes in you.” --- 1. www.medibank.com.au/livebetter/be-magazine/wellbeing/art-drinking-tea-mindfulness/ 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LzlvteRZK7Y.html
Hi , i really liked this video , i feel like tea ceremonies give tea drinking an artistic value. i was wondering about something, i saw in a movie some Chinese people making tea with a brush and drinking it, is it a different kind of ceremony ? or just a different tea plant ? i would really like to know, and if it's a different ceremony i would like to watch a video done by you, thank you
It is called Dian Cha, and it was the tea practice in the Chinese Song Dynasty. It was later adopted by Japanese and evolved into the Japanese tea ceremony. The tea used are green teas - to grind to fine powder, and mixed together with warm water to produce a "soup". Chinese back then, and Japanese, consume the soup containing both tea and water. But with Gongfu Cha, which is shown in this video, you would not consume the tea leaves.
The brushing method is the same as the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. It was popular in China in the Song Dynasty and was introduced to Japan by Zen monks. It thrived in Japan, which retained its practice to this day, however, its popularity declined in China a long time ago, the place of its origin.
That really depends on what kind of tea, and what kind of process and tea ware you adopted. Here it is LaoBaiCha (Aged White Tea) using ZiShaHu (Yixing clay teapot). She chose to wake the tea before the first brewing, which means soak the tea very briefly (less than 20 seconds) and throw away the tea liquid. After that, the first brew is usually 1 min, the second brew is about 15 seconds longer, so on and so forth. How much times the tea can be used really depends on the quality of the tea itself. All the above are not fixed rules, it's for the artist to control the delicate timing and temperature.
