friend tea inheritance

One dear female friend told me few days ago, 
"Hey Brian, don't you think the package of wait a moment is a little bit too young, do you? However the people who are affordable to buy these teas are around 30 to 40 years old. Have you ever thought about change the package?"

Undoubtedly, the package of wait a moment seems for young people, and buyers are older instead. Moreover, the packages of other brands of tea are much more excellent, and brilliant, and customers could buy these teas because of their beautiful appearances without thinking what kinds of tea are they almost.     

Thank you, my dear friend. You reminded me the advantage of the package of wait a moment. Actually wait a moment is for young people and foreigners in the beginning, even till now. Elders know tea, and they know how to enjoy and admire tea because the older generations have shown the spirit and culture of tea. Now it is gone. Young people need something to help them to connect with tea.   

Tea could be kind of a beverage in bottles. The process of make tea with a set of utensils could be a beautiful performance. However the most significant and important meaning of tea is in sado(cha dao). 
 
Most people talk about knowledge of tea loudly. They know a lot of locations of tea, and they could describe the fragrances and tastes of tea with brilliant words. You think they are masters, but they are more like businessmen and far away from sado(cha dao) in this way. 

Have you ever been in a Japanese tea ceremony once? The tempo of Japan tea ceremony is slow and the atmosphere is serious. It is boring, and fascinating. How come?? Yes, it is such a incredible 'thing'. It is sado(cha dao). Tea ceremony are not the most proper words for sado.

茶道
 
Tea is gentle. It could be drank. It could be read. There are a lot of Taiwan tea ceremonies in Taiwan today. People use a set of expensive utensils to brew up tea with dim light and elegant atmosphere. And yes, it is definitely a ceremony although they call it sado.

Something we have to look inside and search in ourselves. Sado is one of these something. The real sado in Taiwan is similar with sado(Japanese tea ceremony) in Japan I think. It should be boring and fascinating. Anyway, when you meet it, you must could recognize it.
