Except for some escapades to Yunnan plantations where she sporadically goes to buy tea for her studio, Ada’s daily life has no major changes, it’s very structured. Everyday, she practices Tai Chi at Jing’An Park which is very close to her home.
In China it’s very common to practice this traditional martial art first thing in the morning; city squares and gardens are full of people practising it either for health reasons, as a relaxation method or to meditate, like Ada does.Once her Tai Chi is over, she buys some vegetables, eats in her apartment and then goes to her studio, and is in this moment when her life really begins. Her daily life may seem rutinary, but Ada explains that she travels inside herself when she thinks about tea, just in the same way as many people travel to gain experiences.
I was working late today, sleep deprived and very tired, and reading about Ada and her tea soothed my nerves… Thank you for sharing this story!
its amazing story.. thanks a lot Ada..! you inspire too much..
Beautiful story and person! Tea is a wonderful thing and I struggle to describe it just as she does.
Thank you for this story. I drew inspiration from the life of Ada. One day I plan to learn tea from the masters. That is my current goal.
What a wonderful movie..and beautiful person. So inspiring! I really want to visit her one day! Tea is also my passion…
