Pu’er Tea，the Priceless One

(chinadaily.com.cn)

Nowadays, tea is seen as precious as jewelry, wine, high fashion and luxury skin care products. Tea drinking, tea tasting and tea collecting are considered as luxurious activities and is part of the status symbol of celebrities.

I’ve been working in the beauty industry for more than 20 years and many people asked me how to be beautiful, healthy and successful. Friends always say that I not only have success in career, but enjoy youth and a peaceful state of mind. That may be attributed to my obsession with Buddhism and tea. The obsession made me move forward in exploring and practicing Buddhism.

Exploring and practicing Buddhism needs years of accumulation, just like Pu’er, for which the oldest is the best.

Pu’er tea has the reputation of “the best tea”, and has been called an “antique that is for drinking”. It can not only quench thirst but is also good for beauty and health. That’s why people commend it as “the combination of tea and Chinese medicine”. Pu’er has miraculous qualities because of the fermentation process, which forms a unique “sediment” which makes the taste mild.

Time gives Pu’er a different charm and savor. Fashion is not only related to popularity, but also to elegant taste. That’s the reason Pu’er is favored among fashionable celebrities.

There are many aged Pu’er bricks and lumps in my house and after all these years of drinking and tasting, I now realize that good women are just like Pu’er tea; original, natural, and elegant.

I began to use Pu'er tea for skin care products when I developed the Pu’er skin care products ten years ago. After the introduction of the Pu’er compact series two years ago, it won the favor of elegant women.

Good tea such as Pu’er deserves proper tasting, viewing and collecting. Good women are just like Pu’er, knowing how to accumulate and sublimate themselves; they gradually improve their physical beauty and mind through skin care and temperament development every day.
