Tea Feng Shui for Balancing Elements

• Teapot spout should never be directed at others, as boiling water might cause splashing and is considered impolite.
• During the boiling of water, ensure the teapot spout does not face anyone to avoid potential scalding and maintain proper etiquette。
• Avoid placing taller objects on the tea table in front of guests, as it may obstruct their tea drinking experience and show disrespect。
• Chairs with higher backrests are preferred for tea ceremonies, providing comfort and support while aligning with Feng Shui principles。
• The tea table should not be placed directly opposite the door; if unavoidable, consider using a screen or large plant to block it off。

Understanding the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) and Feng Shui principles in tea reveals deeper insights。 In essence, what you drink is not just tea, but the balance of the five elements。 Drinking tea harmonizes the body’s energy flow, ensuring health and prosperity when the elements are properly balanced。
