Brewing tea - Tang Dynasty glazed sculpture
It is part of classical Chinese art to brewing a perfect pot of tea. It requires not only quality tea leaves but the right liquid source (unpolluted water from spring or well), the right fuel (pine tree branches would be ideal), the right container (ceramic pot is the must) and the right time (the temperature should not be too low or too high).
