Variety vs. Depth: Exploring Tea with Historical and Cultural Significance
The speaker finds the variety in tea interesting and shares an example of a tea from 1968 China that was made during the cultural revolution. The tea, lacking individuality, was imposed with strict rules and control. Despite the expectation of it tasting disgusting due to its lack of variation, the speaker believes that it must have been heavily relied upon by the people during difficult times. This tea is seen as a connection to the historical wounds and loss of freedom, as well as an insight into the ordinary people's suffering and moments of enjoyment.
