Perennial tea ceremony

Perennial Tea Ceremony (四序茶會) is a Chinese tea ceremony, created by Lin Easu (林易山), of the Ten Ren Teaism Foundation. The first two characters of the Chinese term literally mean four steps or sequences that are linked together, the latter two simply meaning "tea ceremony". With eternal continuity, perfect harmony, rhythm and vitality of nature. Also promotes cultivation of love and respect for nature. Each of the four participants represents a season of the year, and along with the "center" of the ceremony, with incense burners and flowers, these five represent the five elements and colors. Each participant is assigned a season, and these four seasons around the center—the earth— suggest an idea of the endless cycle of seasons, hence the name Tea Ceremony.This tea ceremony is an important link to modern tea culture and ceremony with the traditional Chinese Tea Lore Ceremony.
