Seeing her perform so skillfully, Gu Yunzhi teased, "It's been a few days since we've met, and now I really must look at you with new eyes. When did you learn the art of tea?"
Tang Wanwan looked up at him, smiling radiantly like a flower. "I learned from my master. Hei Xiong told me you love drinking tea, especially Sanqing tea. I was thinking, would you, Master, grace me by tasting the tea I brewed today?" As she finished speaking, the tea was ready. The fragrance of the tea leaves carried a slight and pleasant aroma.
Before Gu Yunzhi even took it into his hands, he could smell the delightful aroma of the tea. "Drinking tea, savoring it, brewing it—those who truly understand tea are a step above the rest."
Understanding how to blend tea leaves is indeed a move above the rest.
Those who only taste but do not innovate will eventually fall behind.
