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.'
