以茶养素 Tea & Self-integrity



以茶养素
这句话该怎么讲呢?
何谓茶?何谓素?

The art of tea may boost up one's integrity.
How are we going to define this phrase?
What is the art of tea? What is integrity?

茶,何以能称之为饮品如此肤浅,
茶之深邃境界,学问,艺术,修养胜于万物。

Tea, is not something as shallow as just a kind of drinks,
the profoundness of tea represents a different level, knowledge (wisdom), art and self-reflection which are literally better than anything in the world.

素,称之为个人素质,
相等于个人品德,心境与修养。

Integrity indicates one's personality with great philosophical thinking and perception.

惜茶之辈,
向来品德高尚,心境品和,举止行为优雅。

Tea enthusiasts are those typically with great personality, peaceful mindset and sophisticated attitude.
