Why “TeaRiffick”?
Why are we so focused on tea?
We believe in that what you put into your body becomes part of who you are. We believe
this to be true for smells, for energy patterns, and especially for what we consume. Tea is
all of these things.
Tea is more than just a simple beverage.
This wisdom was well understood by the ancient Chinese as the following poem suggests:
The Way of Tea
A friend presented me
With tender leaves of Oolong tea,
For which I chose a kettle
Of ivory-mounted gold,
A mixing-bowl of snow-white earth.
With its clear bright froth and fragrance,
It was like the nectar of Immortals.
The first bowl washed the cobwebs from my mind –
The whole world seemed to sparkle.
A second cleansed my spirit
Like purifying showers of rain,
A third and I was one of the Immortals –
What need now for austerities
To purge our human sorrows?
Worldly people, by going in for wine,
Sadly deceive themselves.
For now I know the Way of Tea is real.
– Chio Jen (Tang Dynasty)
