Appreciation
Chinese health science attributes the source of disease to indiscriminate use of the senses. Tea appreciation refines and harmonizes the senses, fixing them on a singular substance and drawing that focused awareness into the interior of the body. Tea appreciation proceeds from superficial to profound in the following order:
一 汤色 Color
二 香气 Fragrance
三 口味 Flavor
四 喉韵 Throat
五 回甘 Return
六 体感 Body
七 茶气 Chaqi
八 茶韵 Chayun
