Before the Tang Dynasty, tea was only a common daily drink. It was Lu Yu who upgraded tea into profound oriental culture and philosophy.

Lu Yu, known as the Sage of Tea, lived in the Tang Dynasty. He experienced hardship in his childhood but kept a calm, pure, and peaceful heart all his life.

He abandoned official fame and spent his whole life traveling through famous tea mountains. He studied tea planting, leaf picking, tea processing, water quality, tea tools, and brewing methods from countless local tea farmers.

Finally, he wrote The Classic of Tea, the world’s first professional tea encyclopedia.

This book systematically summarized all tea knowledge in ancient China.

Lu Yu established the core spirit of Chinese tea culture: peace, calmness, respect, and simplicity.

For thousands of years, Chinese people drink tea not only for taste, but for spiritual relaxation.

Tea calms anxiety, purifies the mind, and teaches people to live gently and elegantly. It is the most precious oriental wisdom passed down from generation to generation.
