This is a discussion between two masters: Huo Yuanjia and the japonese Tanaka about tea.
Tanaka: Do you know anything about teas?
Huo Yuanjia: I don’t really know because I don’t like categories. Tea is tea.
Tanaka: Each has it’s own characteristics hence difference grades
Huo Yuanjia: What’s the purpose of grading? All teas are grown in nature with little discernable differences.
Tanaka: Once you learn you can tell the difference
Huo Yuanjia: The tea is not in a position to judge itself. We should let people be the judge of the tea. As for me I don’t want to do that.
Tanaka: Why not?
Huo Yuanjia: When you are in a good mood the grade of the tea doesn’t matter.
