## Afternoon Tea Cha

## Afternoon Tea Charm: A Dialogue with Time Pushing open the carved wooden door, it seems as if you have traveled through time and space and stepped into an antique world. The sandalwood is curling, the sound of the piano is melodious, and the sun shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. The waiter, dressed in a simple and elegant cheongsam, walked lightly and led me to my seat. A mahogany tea table, a few Ming-style armchairs, and exquisite tea sets were placed on the table. The purple clay pot was as warm as jade, and the tea cups were as thin as cicada wings. Every detail shows the taste and care of the owner. Today's tasting is an aged Pu'er, the tea cake is oily in color and has a steady aroma. The waiter is skilled in warming the pot, washing the tea, and brewing. Every step is smooth, as if performing an elegant ceremony. The tea soup is bright red, mellow, smooth in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste, as if telling the story of the years. After tasting tea, the waiter brought a plate of exquisite tea snacks. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was fragrant, and the mung bean cake was dense and delicate, and every bite was memorable. Outside the window, the bamboo shadows were dancing, and the breeze blew, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, which was refreshing. In this quaint environment, time seemed to slow down. I savored the tea fragrance, felt the passage of time, and my heart became calm and peaceful. This is not just an afternoon tea, but also a dialogue with time and a spiritual precipitation. When I left, the sunset gave this quaint tea room a layer of golden brilliance. I looked back and was full of nostalgia. This high-level tea tasting experience not only allowed me to appreciate the profoundness of tea culture, but also made me feel the beauty and poetry of life.
