This website is designed with utmost simplicity, presenting only the core visuals and text.
This is not an oversight, but our deliberate value choice.
We once attempted to build a platform for real-time uploads of daily tea-reading videos and photos from individuals, families, and groups worldwide. However, the massive data flow and continuous maintenance overwhelmed it. As a public welfare organization holding precious resources yet remaining unchanged in its original mission for twenty years—resisting commercial temptations without a profit-driven operational model—our team consists entirely of BRT Dedicators who spontaneously contribute their time and skills during their off-hours. We have neither dedicated technical staff nor a fixed budget allocated for online operations.
Yet, this is precisely what makes the Body Reading Tea team uniquely valuable. For instance, the photos on this website were primarily documented during last year’s inaugural “World Body Reading Tea Day.” Over the seven-day annual gathering, a total of 17 public tea sessions were held, each with over 20 participants. To illustrate, during just one of the hundred-person tea sessions, the “Ten Virtues Tea Serving,” on the afternoon of December 2, 2024, The Top Tea Sage LiYanfeng shared over 100 grams of 1960s Liao Fu Ji aged loose tea. Its market value, substantiated by auction records, is enough to fund the operation of a feature-rich website for many years.
Nevertheless, for two decades, both The Top Tea Sage LiYanfeng and the Body Reading Tea dedicators have chosen to channel every precious resource—whether aged tea or the time and dedication of the dedicators—entirely into face-to-face health tea-reading practices for individual lives.
Thus, we decided to return to the essence. This “minimalist” website is the truest reflection of the Body Reading Tea global public health initiative’s principle: “Substance over form.”
In summary, this minimally designed website is the truest portrayal of our core values: We direct all our resources to serve the growth and awakening of real lives. What we cherish and practice is the authenticity of life influencing life—this in itself is a rare treasure that surpasses commercial value.
We hope the following facts help you understand our pure value choice more deeply. Thank you for your attention and understanding!
Postscript: Analysis of the market value of one serving of aged tea shared by Mr. LiYanfeng during the annual gathering suffices to demonstrate the non-commercial purity and authentic public welfare nature of Body Reading Tea:
Analysis of “1960s Liao Fu Ji Aged Loose Tea” from a commercial perspective:
Value-Adding Factors:
Vintage: From the 1960s, approximately 60 years old, a golden era for Pu’er tea aging.
Brand: “Liao Fu Ji” is a historically renowned tea label.
Form: “Loose tea” is extremely rare for ultra-aged tea, far scarcer than cake tea from the same period.
Value Considerations:
Auction records mostly involve Haoji Tea (heritage-grade teas from historic tea houses) (e.g., Song Pin, Fu Yuan Chang). While teas from the 1960s are slightly less legendary, the finest among them have approached comparable prices.
Value Estimation:
Considering its scarcity, age and market position:
Conservative Estimate: 8,000 – 15,000 RMB/gram (approximately $1,120 – $2,100 USD/gram)
Aggressive Estimate: 15,000 – 25,000 RMB/gram (approximately $2,100 – $3,500 USD/gram)
Conclusion: Market value of that single serving of tea (100 grams):
Using a conservative midpoint of 10,000 RMB/gram (approximately $1,400 USD/gram):
Value of 100g tea = 100g × $1,400 USD/gram = $140,000 USD
The value of this single serving of tea alone is sufficient to fund the operation of a feature-rich website for many years. This is merely one example among the countless precious aged teas Mentor LiYanfeng has shared over the past two decades.
In this era, $0.07 USD can buy internet trolls, and $3-5 USD can hire extras. If the goal were large-scale spectacle or maintaining a glamorous website, the value of that single serving of tea would have been more than sufficient. Why would The Top Tea Sage LiYanfeng choose such hardship? Personally involved in every detail, for over 20 years, sharing tea brew by brew… This is true great love in the world!
A sharp comparison strikes directly at the heart: In an era where money can quickly fabricate illusions, Mentor LiYanfeng has chosen the most arduous, slowest, yet truest and deepest path.
$0.007 USD trolls create fleeting traffic bubbles.
$4 USD extras build instantly-crumbling stages.
Whereas The Top Tea Sage, sharing tea brew by brew, is planting seeds of goodness and health within real lives.
Priceless Dedication and Choices
Although we can estimate the market value of the tea, the value behind the choices made by the Body Reading Tea team and Mentor LiYanfeng cannot be measured in monetary terms.
What Mentor LiYanfeng expends is not money, but what is far more precious—the very time, focus, and energy of life itself. He is building not a virtual website, but genuine bonds of emotion and trust among tea people globally.
For over twenty years, all precious resources have been entirely dedicated to face-to-face Health Tea Reading practices for each individual life. This reflects our profound value choice: “Substance over form.”
Therefore, the greatness of this endeavor lies in its rejection of the temptation of scale, returning to the authenticity of life influencing life.
The core driving force behind all great causes—resonating at the same frequency. This is a universal law. When we anchor our work in “steadfast sincerity” and “benefiting the world,” it becomes a specific frequency of energy.
This frequency acts like a lighthouse. Its beam may not illuminate the entire ocean, but it will surely be received clearly by ships sailing the same course. This connection transcends ordinary cooperation, elevating into a shared mission! This is the common gesture of tea people under heaven: “Across the lakes and seas, united in heart and virtue!”
Every action we take—whether sending a sincere letter or hosting a small tea gathering—holds its deepest meaning in continuously transmitting this specific frequency signal.
We firmly believe that what we guard and practice is the rarest treasure of this era. The light gathered from tens of millions of tea people is sufficient to illuminate the cosmos!
