Tea and the Solar Terms
Tea Talk on the Solar Terms - Winter Solstice
"Time and human affairs urge each other on; the winter solstice brings the return of spring." (From Du Fu's poem "Minor Solstice")
Today is the "Winter Solstice" in the 24 solar terms, which is also the day with the shortest daylight and the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere.
There are also widespread folk sayings such as "Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year", "Winter Solstice is similar to the New Year", "The winter solstice is as important as the New Year", "Winter is fat and the New Year is thin" / "Fat winter and thin New Year".
During the cold winter solstice, in addition to warming the body and nourishing the body, drinking a warm cup of good tea can also bring endless warmth and health.
On the Winter Solstice, I recommend a cup of good tea to warm your body and mind:
Black tea is warm in nature and has a sweet and mellow taste. It helps to warm the stomach, dispel cold, and refresh the mind, making it suitable for people with a cold constitution.
Oolong tea is between green tea and black tea. It is mild and gentle, combining the fragrance of green tea with the mellowness of black tea.
Oriental Beauty Tea is a heavily fermented oolong tea with a unique honey aroma and a mellow, sweet taste. It not only warms the stomach but also contains abundant tea polyphenols, which have beauty and skin-nourishing effects.
We invite you to join us for a peaceful tea ceremony. ( ´∀`)つ旦
