I've been meditating for 45 years. That discussion is too lengthy for
this post. I generally know the history of the teas I buy and cherish
because I do not have money to throw away. I have spent nearly 45 years
trying to simplify my life. I was sharing what gong-fu means to me. Of
course, by now, I know how to do gong-fu. You are most likely looking too
carefully into words. Let it go. I have. Shen "Slow" is the way my spirit
moves with gong-fu.


Shen, I appreciate your poetic relationship with the tea you drink. My interest was more mundane. I was simply wondering about the style; that is, the vehicle you use for your meditations, so to speak. There is a common feeling out there that if you use a little pot, fill it with leaf, use real hot water, and steep quickly, you've done Gung Fu. For all I know, that's quite right.
