Proper BrelDing Of Tea
Told by Chinese Poet

High tea would have been deemed
an abomination by the Chinese poet Lu
Wuh, who held that no food should be
taken In conjunction with the most de-
icious Of all beverages. Lu Wuh
maintained that only three ingredients
are necessary for its decoction--tea,
water and salt-but each should be
selected with care.
'The leaves Of the tea plant must
have creases like the leathern boot OF
a Tartar horseman, must curl like the
dewlap Of mighty bullock; must un-
fold like the mist rising out OF ra-
vine, must CLEAN like lake touched
by zephyr; and be wet and soft like
fine earth newly swept by rain" Ac-
cordIng to this authority a mountain
spring furnished the best water FOR
tea making, with river water and Or
binary spring water next In order OF
excellence.
"There are three stages OF boiling
Lu Wuh goes on to say. The nrst
boil Is when the little bubbles Like the
eye of fishes swim on the SURFACE.
The second boil is when the bubbles
are like crystal beads rolling In 4 foun-
tain. The third boil Is when the bill
lows surge wildly in the kettle"
Salt is put in the first boil, tea In
the second boil; at the third dipper-
full of cold water is poured into the
kettle to settle the tea and revive the
youth of the water" after which the
decoction Is poured Into cups and
drunk.-Manchester Guardian.
