Imagine sipping tea like it’s the 14th century—no fancy gadgets, just pure vibes. The Ming Dynasty didn’t just drink tea; they turned it into an art of chill. Ditching the ultra-complex rituals of earlier eras, Ming tea lovers kept it simple: loose leaves, clay pots, and tiny cups designed to trap that sweet, sweet aroma.

Whether you’re a matcha latte stan or a classic oolong fan, you’ve got the Ming Dynasty to thank for prioritizing simplicity and vibes over vibes .
Next time you brew a cup, channel your inner Ming scholar: slow down, savor the scent, and remember—sometimes less really is more.
