The Brilliant Tea Culture
Incorporated into our tea culture is the traditional Chinese culture, leading to the “ethnic-minority tea service,” “service of tea of Zen,” “tea served in Chinese blue-pattern porcelain teapots” and other shows of tea service. It is the Brilliant Pu’er tea culture that upgrades the way Chinese have tea to the spiritual height with an artistic sense, advocating a harmonious life for one’s body and mind.
Brilliant's Tea Museum
Found in the Brilliant’s Tea Museum are almost all old brands of tea existing over the past one hundred years, from the Fuyuanchang, Songpinghao, to the Red Print and “Cultural Revolution” tea bricks… The Museum presents to us Pu’er tea which is a “drinkable culture” and “breathing antique.” Sipping tea here in a leisurely and carefree atmosphere with melodious music played, one muses on the artistic connotation of tea of Zen and its cultural weight of time and history.
Primeval Ethnic Minority Tea Culture
Brilliant Pu’er tea’s primeval ethnic-minority tea culture represents the 1,300-year-old Yunnan Jingmai Mountain tea culture and other elements of ethnic-minority cultures. Girls were chosen from the Bulang, Dai, Lahu, Wa and Hani that are the first ethnic minorities to grow tea. Serving as tea artists, these girls, accompanied by Bawu, xylophone, Hulusi and other folk instruments, reproduce in choreographic language the plain ancient life growing tea along the Lancang River. What the primeval ethnic-minority tea culture proposes is an honest, natural, plain, harmonious and simple way of life to revert to nature.
Tea of Zen
Drawing on the essence of yoga and Chinese tai chi, the process of making tea of Zen displays Chinese Zen culture. Here yoga’s resilience, smoothness and emptiness are combined with tai chi’s way marked by having hardness (yang) and softness (yin) in coordination and with Buddhist ideas of plainness and naturalness to interprete a tea culture of refinement and unconventionality. It meets the demands of man who is involved in a disorderly life for self identity and a taste of real life.
Chinese Tea Culture
As traditional symbols of the broad and profound Chinese culture, Peking opera, silk, blue-pattern porcelain, literary works, music, calligraphy, painting and chess have been incorporated into the quintassential Chinese tea culture. The essence of Chinese culture in its esthetic perfection is instilled into the drinker along with the light wafts of tea fragrance, conveying a cultural connotation of nobility, unconventionality, moral edification and universality. What it promotes is harmony, respect, credibility, elegance and peace in life.
