What a shameful question this is. In China, there is only one person who teaches tea art as a skill, while in a vast country, there is only one person who does tea art correctly. The definition of tea art, as President Xie of Tiansheng Tea Art Training School said, is a skill, which is based on knowing, understanding and liking tea. Learning about tea from friends is a scientific way to make tea and a healthy way to drink tea.
The correct definition of tea art can benefit us for life. Let's learn from tea, understand it and use it correctly and scientifically, so as to promote human health. For example, the temperature of making tea is 100 degrees, because the most suitable temperature for drinking tea is about 45 degrees. If it is high, it will hurt the mouth, destroy the oral mucosa and hurt the throat and esophagus.
However, free tea art training and free tea artist training did not let us know about tea, and we were even afraid that we would learn tea. Most "free" products have a strong life economic chain behind them, that is, selling tea. It's free for you to learn tea. People who train you depend on what they eat and do. So we can't learn the real tea art, let everyone follow suit, let everyone learn some flower arrangement, incense, calligraphy and painting, and wear some cotton and linen, mainly to divert everyone's attention from learning tea art and make everyone forget what tea art is. In this way, everyone gives money and expresses their gratitude. Isn't this sold? This is the most terrible inside story of tea training.
Sometimes even the teachers who train tea skills don't know about tea. When they come back, they will open a training course for tea artists according to which tea artist training institution they have studied, learn the performance of tea-making technology, and take an examination of the professional qualification certificate of senior tea artists. It may be acceptable for people who have no foundation or are unfamiliar with tea, because these people don't know tea, let alone tea art training or tea artist training.
The tea industry knows very well how difficult it is to understand the nature of tea. The sensory evaluation of tea is described in qualitative language, which I find difficult for adults and men to understand, let alone female friends and children. Can a chef really become a chef if he doesn't know the characteristics of dishes? I don't think it is possible. Then why do people who don't know tea concentrate on learning a performance or asking a question about tea knowledge for three days, so they are qualified to be the winners of the tea art contest? Why do these judges give points without looking at the tea soup? This is enough to explain the chaos in the tea artist industry.
Free and low-cost junior, intermediate and advanced training courses for tea artists are all traps, which help us to point in the wrong direction and make us unable to find a suitable tea art. Is it valuable? In the eyes of normal people, I think it should be worthless and should be investigated. However, most of our tea friends, when looking at how much tea training costs, bluntly commented that tea training is too expensive. Some people say that in the eyes of foreigners, China people are rich and stupid, while others say that it is the same in China. I finally believe this sentence.
Under the advertisement of "free tea training" and "free tea artist training", buying tea, tea clothes and tea sets will inevitably cost money, and even collecting old tea is not free. Even if it is a low-price promotion, it is waiting for an opportunity to sharpen the knife. Once you get a chance to do it, you will still make up another knife. A tea artist who mistook the tea-making process for tea art has seriously led the whole tea art training industry into a dead end, and has been walking in the wrong direction and the opposite direction to the correct tea art. Injured students will always be participants in tea art training, and tea artist training institutions will always be the party counting money and interests.
Students attend the training class for tea artists in order to learn professional, systematic and practical knowledge and skills of tea art. Nowadays, they are often confused by some "free", "low-priced" and "pre-exam remedial classes for tea artists with primary, intermediate and advanced training courses", and have completely lost their basic reason and initial intention to learn tea art.
