🌿 Tea & Tranquil Living – 乐龄茶香慢生活 🌿

On 26/3/2026, a lovely group of mature participants gathered at Tzu Chi Seniors Engagement & Enabling Node (Nanyang) for a peaceful afternoon of Chinese tea appreciation led by Tea Master Patrick. 🍵

From 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, attendees explored the theme “Raw or Ripe? Learn About Pu’er Tea Effortlessly ” (喝生还是喝熟? 普洱茶轻松学), diving into the history and nuances of Pu’er tea.

The session, conducted in Chinese, was filled with spontaneous warmth, infectious curiosity, and the soothing aroma of Pu’er tea.

💛 Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to everyone who joined us — your presence made the event truly special!

On 18/3/2026, we hosted a wonderful afternoon session of "Tea & Tranquil Living for Seniors" (乐龄茶香慢生活) at Tzu Chi (慈济) Bukit Batok.

Led by the knowledgeable and humorous Tea Master Patrick, the atmosphere throughout the entire session was as rich as the brew! 🍃

Our participants dove deep into the world of Puer tea (普洱茶). From understanding the delicate differences between Raw (生) and Ripe (熟) Puer leaves to mastering the art of a perfect pour, it was an afternoon filled with learning, laughter, and lingering aromas.

Highlights from the session :

• Expert Guidance: Mastering the fundamentals of Puer tea selection.

• Community Spirit: Connecting with fellow participants over a warm cup.

Thank you to everyone who have joined us. Whether you prefer the earthy depth of Ripe Puer or the fresh bite of Raw Puer, we hope you carried a sense of tranquility home with you. ✨

#乐龄生活 #普洱茶

I savour my tea alone in the quiet night,

Free from desire and worry,

Oblivious to the wind, rain, and dust outside.

Jiak Teh (喫茶) was honoured to conduct a Chinese Tea Appreciation Session for the residents at Sree Narayana Mission on 12 February 2026.

Residents were introduced to the history of Chinese tea culture and how tea drinking can support daily well-being and mindful awareness.

Our Chinese Tea Appreciation Workshop is also suitable for corporate wellness and cultural engagement programmes.

Your solitary tea drinking moment,

Open your heart to appreciate the tea’s innermost essence,

Only in quiet solitude does its truest taste reveal itself.
