A thought that is always in my mind since i take up the art of tea.
"Why do most chinese youngster now would not wanna learn chinese arts including the art of tea?"
As for me , I am a decendent of the "Dragon People", as such i think i should have some resposibility in preserving this art. Moreover, tea is such a wonderful thing beside tasting great, the art of appreciating tea itself give an opportunity to learn our culture, history/past more.
Beside, tea is a very subjective matter. It constantly changes with different factors affecting it. That makes it very interesting.
Beside that, it really impressed me that even westerners know more about this art that us Chinese. As such, it reli give me the motivation to learn more about this art than before.
Think about it. Next time when someone offered you to yum cha.... don't just think of it as our regular mamak stall teh tarik. Try to think of oolong, puer, green tea etc.
