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.

衝浪前 — 划水出海前

一杯短而淡的沖泡，為的是清醒而非衝擊 — 黎明前觀察浪勢的衝浪者，之所以傾向伸手拿茶而非第二杯咖啡，原因正在於此。

衝浪後 — 走回沙灘的那段路

這正是那杯較濃的茶應歸屬的時刻 — 在一天的水上活動結束之後，而非開始之前，那杯溫暖、咖啡因含量較高的茶湯。這是一杯恢復之飲，而非表現之飲。
