A poem on how I study

I’ve been asked about my method for studying Chinese tea and culture many times, and unfortunately my answer has and always will be “time and patience”.

While I don’t have any revelatory insights on faster methods of study,  I do have a new poem that I hope inspires you.

Studying is a great pain
fueled by hours of bitter tea
yet I have never bent knee
in the face of adversity
