A Cooling Refuge for Summer

On scorching summer days, don’t we all long for a cool refuge? Life, like a journey of thousands of miles, often brings fatigue and irritability. When you feel restless, which tea would you reach for? Today’s mood tea is Gan Lu — the key phrase: A Place of Cool Serenity.

This exceptional tea comes from Daping Village’s 50+ year old Huangcha Pi trees, a rare and unique variety exclusive to Daping. At first glance, the dry leaves appear slightly yellow and rugged, but the tea liquor reveals a delicate contrast — soft, sweet, and nuanced. If this tea had a past life, it might resemble the dual spirits of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi from the Three Kingdoms: its exterior and name evoke Cao Pi’s boldness, while its inner character — the intricate sweetness and elegance — mirrors Cao Zhi, author of the Seven-Step Poem. After three cups, it feels like rain after a long drought, with a persistent, refreshing coolness that soothes the soul.

Gan Lu is like the nectar in Guanyin Bodhisattva’s jade vase — refreshing and invigorating. It evokes the serene pavilions cherished by ancient scholars, offering shade from the summer sun, and like a wise companion, it calms the mind and quiets the noise. In the long light of summer, if you feel weary, pause in the pavilion; if you feel restless, brew a cup of Gan Lu and create your own cooling refuge. A single cup of this nectar-like tea is the perfect antidote for the present moment.
