"xing he cha" 醒和 茶, awakening with tea

An ideal morning starts with tea.
“It’s just tea, add water, serve and drink.”
No deep enlightenment, just a few cups.
My much practiced: Jiu Dian Gong Fu Cha, is a one way to start a day. Except in Taiwan, where it’s: Fan Dian Gong Fu Cha.
Two-Three infusions of 13 yr “cooked” Pu-erh, from a medium sized Gaiwan, then two brews of Pu-erh mixed with TieGuanYin.

“Single Malt Oolongs” are for afternoon / evening consumption, a nice green tea with lunch.

The reality is: early morning kicks off with; intercontinental tele-conf. calls, with follow-ups … then bring on the “Cha”
