The ritual

Three pours, one day

A surf day has three distinct physiological moments — before, during, and after. Each gets its own tea logic here: real caffeine categories, real teas, real links to the encyclopedia. No resident master, no fictional programme — just the reasoning behind what to pour and when.

冲浪前 — 划水出海前

一杯短而淡的冲泡，为的是清醒而非冲击 — 黎明前观察浪势的冲浪者，之所以倾向伸手拿茶而非第二杯咖啡，原因正在于此。

冲浪后 — 走回沙滩的那段路

这正是那杯较浓的茶应归属的时刻 — 在一天的水上活动结束之后，而非开始之前，那杯温暖、咖啡因含量较高的茶汤。这是一杯恢复之饮，而非表现之饮。
