Young samurai, what you see as "unreasonable" and "harsh" is nothing more than the results of years of experience. Me, who has lived for so long, visited so many places across the world and tasted so many teas, have developed a refined understanding of this concoction. I can not only see, but feel every little detail that brings it to its final form, the one I sip with my lips.

And us old folks want nothing more than to give the future generations that little push they need to reach this level of mastery. Be it in preparing tea, martial arts or any other profession they pursue. So that they don't become too complacent with the state they are in.
