true self. Many spiritual practices strive to experience such a state. In Hinduism,
mantras are chanted, yoga is practiced, Orthodox Christians read prayers, and in
China and Japan, they drink tea, observing the traditions of the tea ceremony. Tea
and the spiritual path became one. Tea helps to concentrate attention on meditation,
does not fog the mind, and leads to harmony and creation.
Comprehension and Tea Ceremony
The Chinese do not drink tea with bagels, sugar, milk or lemon. The tea drinking
ceremony has been developing in China for centuries according to legend, tea as a
drink was popularized by monks and was originally used exclusively for meditation.

atmosphere, without haste. The very process of brewing tea, manipulating dishes
forces you to focus and detach yourself from the hustle and bustle of the world
around you.
If you are disturbed by the myriad of thoughts and need to solve difficult issues,
take your time to brew your favorite type of Chinese tea and forget about your
problems, completely surrendering to the ceremony. When you have finished
performing the sacrament and eating tea, you will certainly feel clarity of thought,
and the issue will resolve itself.

just by cooking and drinking a few cups of real Chinese tea.

simple words, for a fan of Chinese tea, time stops, concentrating on the actual
moment, and obsessive and heavy thoughts evaporate.
