It is reported that the "International Tea Day" Digital Technology Expo, jointly sponsored by the China Tea Aesthetics and Tea Science and Technology Development Center, USA UNESCO, Xinhuanet's "The Tao of Tea" column, the Franco-Chinese Art Exchange Center, and the China Tea Culture International Exchange Center, and supported by the Permanent Mission of China to UNESCO, will be held simultaneously on May 25, 2022 in Beijing, China and Paris, France.
International Tea Day was announced on 27 November 2019 at the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly to celebrate the economic, social and cultural value of tea, and is the first international festival in the agricultural field that has been successfully promoted by a tea-producing country dominated by China. This year is the third International Tea Day, the organizers invited ambassadors from Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Mongolia, Vietnam, Colombia, Kenya, Tanzania, South Korea and other countries in Paris to talk about the topic of "Tea Fragrance Floating in the World and Tasting a Good Tea Together".
To taste a good cup of tea, you need good tea leaves, moderate temperature water, and a set of tea sets, choosing the right tea set is an indispensable step for making tea, appreciating tea, and tasting tea, and it is also the easiest to be ignored. When brewing green tea, you can choose a cup according to the quality of the tea, and you can use a transparent glass cup for green teas with good quality and tender and precious green teas such as West Lake Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng in order to enjoy the "tea dance". General quality tea can be used in porcelain cups. In order to observe the color, black tea can also be used in a glass or with white porcelain to set off its red tea soup, but the difference is that the use of lid bowl cup brewing can better play the rich aroma of black tea. Oolong tea is also suitable for brewing with a covered bowl cup, which is convenient for smelling incense and appreciating the bottom of the leaves, and can also be brewed with a purple sand pot, which can make the tea soup mellow and the aroma is not scattered. Pu'er tea is generally available with purple sand pots and lid bowls. Speaking of tea sets, Chen Xu, the "first person in china to play with pots" was invited to the "first person in china to play pots" on the international tea day in Beijing, China, and the AMBASSADOR to UNESCO exchanged teapot skills and exchange Chinese tea culture through video connection.
Chen Xu, a native of Pingtan, Fujian Province, a pot-feeding person, a lonely Oushan person, the founder of the feeding pot mountain house, a young potter, a first-class carver (senior technician), is known in the industry as the "pot playing holy hand". A purple clay pot arrived in his hand, playing freely like a toy, effortlessly. At the age of 14, Chen Xu used the 32 yuan he had accumulated to buy the first purple sand pot in the tea shop. From love to obsession, he began to obsessively buy and collect purple clay pots, the number of which once ranged from a hundred to thousands, and the highest reached 30,000. Then he did something that shocked the industry - he sold the more than 30,000 purple clay pots in his collection and used all the proceeds for public welfare.
Remi Ayrone, president of the French Artists Association, spoke highly of the young man who aspired to be with the purple sand pot all his life at the video scene, "I love tea, and tea culture is an important part of Chinese culture. I once participated in a tea picking activity in a city in southern China, and when the delicate tea leaves were plucked, the special feeling made me unforgettable, and I hoped that Chinese tea could go to the world", and Mahda, President of the UNESCO Colleagues Association, also said: "It was so shocking!" I still saw this kind of performance for the first time, purple sand technique is a very good cultural tradition, thank you for preserving it and leaving it to our next generation", Tong Aiming, chairman of the Chinese Art Exchange Center, saw a video at the scene saying that "your pot is playing too beautifully, it feels like flying, if you have your pot, you will definitely be very happy".
