Winter Solstice, Lesser Cold, Greater Cold. The years change, but the seasonal divisions remain constant, and every year we experience the severe cold of the Nine Periods of Cold. Rain falls every few days, lasting for several days, with misty atmospheres and freezing temperatures – this is the coldest and most unbearable time of the year. How to combat the chill? By drinking Tea. Especially on gloomy and cold days, holding a cup of hot tea in your icy hands, warmth spreads from your palms throughout your body.
The warmth that comes from tea is something no one would resist. Don't worry if you don't know much about the tea ceremony or how to select tea leaves. In the cold season, it's not difficult to enjoy a warm cup of tea at any time. All you need is a simple set of tea utensils, or even a small red clay stove, to brew tea. Generally, Black Tea is suitable for brewing during winter (please leave a message if you need recommendations for tea brewing equipment), and you can add some nourishing supplements like wolfberries, dates, astragalus, angelica, and Cinnamon.
Once you have your tea utensils ready, you won't need to worry about not knowing how to make tea. We hope we are destined to meet, and “Runsi Keemun Black Tea” can serve as your black tea guide, answering any doubts you may have while drinking tea to the best of our ability. Sincerity and dedication are the principles guiding our service to every customer. Would you care for a cup? Whether it's alcohol or tea, I hope there is someone to share this moment with. But if no one is there to share it, it's alright; with tea by your side, even just a lamp, a cup of tea, and a book, solitude doesn't have to be lonely.
In his writings, Mr. Lin Yutang once said that only those who view the chaotic world with a calm mind can appreciate the subtle fragrance of light tea. It seems that drinking tea creates a state of mind. Drink a cup when you're joyful; drink a cup when you're indignant; drink a cup when you're sad; drink a cup when you're weary. Immersed in the plants and trees, you gain the spirit of tea, and your state of mind changes completely!
Tea suits all moods, but ultimately it leads to one true essence: purity, simplicity, harmony, and enduring tranquility. The world is noisy, and life moves at a fast pace, especially at the end of the year and the beginning of the new one, when household and external affairs become increasingly complicated, leaving one physically and mentally exhausted. If you feel lost at such a time, slow down and drink a cup of tea. You will feel a calmness and joy in both mind and body, ready to face the challenges anew after finishing a cup.
