【No. 0450】Chabashira
Mar 12, 2016 22:47
In Japan, standing chabashira is thought of as an auspicious sign.
(Chabashira means stem portions of tea leaves.)
One of the reasons is because it's very rare that chabashira stands on tea.
First of all, stems of tea leaves seldom pass through a tea strainer.
Then, when one side of the stem absorb water, you can see it stands on the tea surface for only a short period.
Timing is important.
Unfortunately, since recent tea strainers are very finely, it became really difficult to find the standing chabashira.

茶柱
日本では、「茶柱が立つ」ことは縁起が良いと言われています。
（茶柱とは、茶葉の茎の部分を意味します。）
このように言われている理由の一つは、とても珍しいことだからです。
まず、お茶をこしたとき、茶葉の茎が茶こしを通ることが滅多にありません。
そして、茶葉の茎のの片側が水分を吸うと、一定時間だけお茶の水面を立っているように見えます。
これはタイミングが重要になります。
残念なことに、最近の茶こしはとても細かく、茶柱が立つのを見ることは非常に困難になっています。
