When the ancients were tasting tea, they were used to smoking and burning top-grade incense to beautify the environment and create a quiet and harmonious atmosphere.

The combination of incense and tea ceremony can be a multi-dimensional and cross-media integration. The combination of incense and tea was highly respected by the ancients. No matter in the meticulous tea ceremony or when enjoying tea casually, you can see the figure of "famous and fragrant tea". Burning incense is the first procedure, whether it is the Twelve Zen teas or the tea ceremony demonstration on weekdays. From the perspective of Zen tea, burning incense is to express tea people's respect for tea, respect and feelings for Cha Sheng, tea seats for tea sets, life and Zen.
In the tea ceremony on weekdays, burning incense plays the role of "eliminating delusions". Through the convergence of mind, the relaxation and calmness of breath, performers and audiences can enter a quiet and peaceful state of mind; The curled light smoke and the seemingly absent fragrance can also create a solemn atmosphere for the environment of the teahouse. In such a state of integration of internal and external environment, in meticulous ceremony, tea makers can naturally achieve the pursuit of self-cultivation, and tea drinkers can also experience the different tastes of ups and downs in life by tasting every sip of tea.
However, the free-wheeling mentality is the attitude that tea people relish. Tasting tea, like burning incense, is a common item in daily life.
