Red is the color of Easter. The tea I choose today is a this new
Infrared roasted Oolong. No matter how often I brew the leaves, there's always some sweet flavor. It's a miraculous tea that multiplies the brews and never dies!
The main plant is a thin bamboo with palm like leaves!
This strongly roasted Oolong tastes best when brewed in an old Yixing zisha. That's why I reach for my Qianlong era Lion and plum flowers hexagonal teapot. Its age makes it precious and special. It serves to remember an event that is 10 times older!
I'm storing this tea in this qinghua jar that happened to be empty. The symbolism couldn't be better: the Chinese character written on this jar means "long life". Having faith in Jesus Christ's Easter sacrifice promises more than that: eternal life!
The taste of this tea in this teapot is simply incredible. It has so much sweetness, finesse and life. This Chaxi brings peace and appreciation for the past. The close ups on this teapot show how the clay is a mix of different particles. The spout has tool marks. The the blue paint brushes show how the color was applied.
