It's just a
question of TDR: Tian, Di, Ren or heaven, earth, people. Is it a
noun? A person, place or thing? Tian means day / sky / heaven. Di
means Earth / land / soil. Ren means human being / person, people.
Tian Di together means heaven and earth; world; universe. Add Ren and
we have TDR. It’s everything that we concern ourselves with.
Mostly I'm concerned about how TDR can bring about good tea.
天地人
Heaven,
Earth, People
It is said that the synergy of these
three elements (heaven, earth, and people) are what lead to the
highest quality teas.
The possibilities combine into an
infinite number of outcomes, giving us a multitude of combinations.
It is no wonder, then, that the variety of tea available is so wide.
How does Eastern philosophy play into the right combination of these three elements?
ReplyDeleteHi The Teaist,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question, though I have to say that I'm not sure if I have any answers yet. I am currently writing more posts on the subject. I like that Tian Di Ren is a three word phrase.
