The Emperor's Agent

Here it comes – with charm, humour and diplomacy in its hands.
Leaving all that beautiful ladies, riots, happenings, dancining halls, smuggling behind. You are wondering why it chose you feeling so plain next to it. Take a sip and you are starting to understand it. Seeing the world with its eyes, wanting to know more... it leads you to a new world... There is a lot to be thaught.

Witty and handsome knowing what you want it to be. It lets you modify it to get what it wants. It is TEA – The Emperor's Agent. Sent through a legend to live in reality of your everyday ritual.

Does it remind you of someone? Some adventure seeking twin hidden somewhere deep in your being? Some alter ego that you dream of?

It is here wanting to be discovered from the undercovered plant in your cupboard. Bringing a lot of joy, happiness and health. Not wanting to be misunderstood anymore. Give it a chance and let it in your daily routine remembering the long way it traveld to make it to you.

Linguisteacs

Words are magical, so are teas... have you tried all kinds of tea? Me not, but I still believe in their magic. Have you used all of the words that are placed in a dictionary? Me not, but I still believe in their magic, magic to express deepest feelings and magic to express most complicated thoughts. Every language has its own flair.

My mother tongue has a flair word – đezva or džezva – no one really knows, no one really cares, is it more palatal or is it pronaunced more alveolar – who cares any way. Some linguists do, ordinary people don't. It is used for boiling smaller amounts of water, to prepare coffee usually, (at last we are coffee nation) but for tea as well. Tea is finding its place around that coffee that smells so nice in the morning early waking up everybody – drinking it or not.


Kettle (kuhalo) is nice, quick and handy but it doesn't have that flair. It doesn't have that important part in our imagination. Water cooked in đezva or džezva has a special taste. Long awaited, never done, spots to clean afterwords... but brings warmth to a heart. Water bubbling, steam coming up, being cautious of handilnig it carefully in order not to get burend, there is so much work with it... but we love it. Just like loose tea - it takes time, but it's appreciated more. More enjoyable. An individual being part of every step in tea making. It is easy to indentify with it and only tea made in đezva can express my deepest feelings for tea.

Zašto čaj?

A zašto ne? Čaj je jedan predivan napitak skriven po policama robnih kuća i ostalih inih specijaliziranih prodavonica. Zvuči kao jedan, a ima ga na tisuće... okusa. Isto kao i govor - jedan govorni aparat, a tisuće... jezika. Tisuću ovdje znači puno, jako puno. Isto kao i nebrojeno puno.

Volim Long Jing i podučavam hrvatski... kakva je vaša kombinacija?

Vjerujem dovoljno dobra da biste i vi počeli pisati blog :)
