The Mystery of Cha Qi

Let’s talk about Cha Qi- teas most mysterious benefit! In it’s simplest terms, is the life force of the tea. In China there is the concept of Qi, the 'breath' or life force of all things: the earth has Qi, plants have Qi, my cats have Qi, the air has it, the plants, everything has it. The food we eat imparts Qi into us as does the tea we drink, but if it is everywhere, what makes it special? Here is where it gets really fun, or really confusing, you can pick. Cha Qi is experienced differently by everyone. It can be a zen-like state of bliss or an intense feeling of concentration, and of course everything in between. Just make sure you don't get it confused with being Tea Drunk or having too much caffeine. How do you know the difference? Actually, it is like everyone says: 'you will know'. For lack of a better way of putting it, experiencing Cha Qi is experiencing tea at its most fundamental level. You and the tea become one, in a dance of the senses and spirit. In theory, any tea can give you this experience, but the better the tea the better the experience.
