The tea brush is like a literati deeply steeped in the fragrance of ink. However, what it wields is not ink but the delicate aroma of tea. It has a very unique function. It is used to clean the tea stains on the tea sets. With a gentle wipe, the tea sets become clean as new, just like clearing a pure space for the upcoming tea gathering, making every encounter with tea start from a spotless state.
The tea tongs are just like an elegant etiquette official. With a graceful figure and gentle movements, it firmly picks up the tea cups. Whether it is the meticulousness when warming the cups or the courtesy when presenting the tea, it fully demonstrates its dignity and grace. It separates the direct contact between the hand and the cup, not only maintaining the cleanliness of the cup but also endowing the tea - tasting process with a sense of solemnity and ritual, making every toast full of respect.
The tea spoon is like a lively elf shuttling among the tea leaves. Its slender body moves freely between the tea canister and the teapot. It precisely scoops out the tea leaves from the tea canister and evenly sends them into the teapot. Under its guidance, each tea leaf orderly starts its blooming journey in the water, injecting the mellow soul into the tea soup.
The cup fork is like an attentive waiter, specifically designed for the placement and picking - up of tea cups. It is small and delicate. Gently picking up the cup with it provides an alternative and elegant way to move the cup, making the placement and retrieval of the cup more graceful and calm, avoiding possible collisions and damages, adding a sense of peace and comfort to tea - tasting.
The tea knife is like a bold and decisive knight - errant. When facing tightly - compressed tea cakes or bricks, it does not flinch. Its sharp blade gently cuts in, skillfully prying the tea leaves loose, allowing the sleeping tea leaves to regain their freedom and release the hidden aroma and charm, bringing rich taste levels to tea - tasters.
The tea caddy is the warm home of these six tea - ceremony elves. Standing quietly, it is like a steady guardian, carefully storing the tea brush, tea tongs, tea spoon, cup fork, and tea knife. When not in use, it enables them to gather in an orderly manner, always on standby, waiting for the next wonderful encounter with the tea fragrance to start a new chapter of tea - tasting.

Every time we use them, it is like having a conversation with traditional tea culture. Every tea - related event completed with their help becomes a beautiful experience that touches the soul, allowing us to savor the poetry and tranquility of life in the overflowing aroma of tea.
