Spring has fully arrived in Guangzhou. To settle into the season I like drinking Zi Long Pao Wulong (lit: Purple dragon Robe Oolong). This is how it feels:
Whilst pouring water on the leaves, the fragrance spirals into me like mana, reinvigorating my soul and elevating my spirit.
As the water touches my lips, the flavor gives rise to joyful curiosity and child-like wonder, and as I swallow the golden liquid my heart finds peace and tranquility.
The birds now chirp happily around me and time appears to stands still.
It’s so heavenly, I have to drink it several times a day.
