A look into the archives: for the celebration of Chinese Year of the Rabbit coming up this new week

 

FROM THE ARCHIVES:

According to the Chinese zodiac cycle, 2023 will be the year of the rabbit, the years are further classified as one of two sides of the yin yang symbol. This year is considered yin, and, compared to its light, more active counterpart, emphasizes the importance of rest. The rabbit is a symbol of intellect and cautiousness. Starting on January 22nd for the Chinese New Year we are reminded of a piece we published back in 2016, 'A History of Chinese Tea' by Graeme Hall.

'I enjoy making tea, a skill I learnt from my aunt, and I take pleasure in the attention to detail that is needed. I know, for example, that for jasmine the water should not be too hot but instead should have crab eyes. It was my aunt who taught me how to judge the temperature of boiling water from the size of the bubbles. Shrimp eyes the coolest, and then crab eyes, fish eyes, rope of pearls and raging torrent. I smile at the memory and wish my aunt was here to help me today. I concentrate on the tea to try and overcome my nerves. I know how important this day is and I didn’t need to be told to use our finest teapot. According to family tradition it was given as a gift by a Court official who had been stranded in our village in bad weather.'
