Tea is an art

*This post is brought to you by Grand Tea Stand.*

Recently, there has been an influx of Chinese period costumes dramas and movies. Period costumes mean the movies or drama series where they show olden China when the emperor rules and he usually have a bevy of concubines. The last two movie I watched was The Banquet where Zhang Ziyi played this willowy, weak yet strong and determined character who aims to get rid of the emperor and replace him with her lover.

Do you notice the kind of charm these ancient times women have? Have you seen how the favourite concubine lure the emperor to her chamber? I am pretty sure you have seen how these women have something in common. Their abilities to make a perfect cup of tea with their dainty hands.

Tea has this magic within those leaves. People have painstakingly brew it over the centuries. Wars were fought over teas. Japanese anime which are the craze now have these demure and petite girls sipping tea. You know why? Because tea making is considered a skill. It will tempt the men to lost all his senses and just bask in that warmth tea provides. Deals are made over teas.
