<strong>High</strong> Mountain Oolong Tea<br />

From the Zhang family estate in<br />

Taiwan's Muzha region, comes<br />

this high mountain Oolong tea.<br />

as featured in Issue 79 of Qi Magazine<br />

This tea is slightly darker than the<br />

green Tikuanyin and so has a deeper<br />

and smokier taste.<br />

With tea of this quality, the tea can<br />

be reused to make several cups.<br />

Instructor Insight<br />

Grimsby, Yorkshire - Jens Thinnesen<br />

The first time I met my Sifu (Martin Gale) was during one of the <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong><br />

<strong>Centre</strong> residential Wing Chun courses. At that time, I was studying Wing Chun<br />

with a local club in Grimsby (where I live) and I had seen the residential course<br />

advertised in the Qi Magazine. Although I knew nobody, I was made to feel very<br />

welcome and from the very first day of the course, formed some friendships with<br />

people that will never be lost.<br />

I spent as much time rolling hands with as many people as I could. Every one<br />

of them had such a high level of skill and was willing to share it with me, that after<br />

the course, I came back to Grimsby knowing that my path would take me back to<br />

the <strong>Tse</strong> <strong>Qigong</strong> <strong>Centre</strong>.<br />

I believe it was fate. The nearest class to me was Leeds and is taught by my<br />

Sifu who was one of the people who welcomed me on the first day of the residential<br />

course. Although we both live at opposite sides of the country we meet in the<br />

middle for class each week.<br />

At the class in Leeds I also discovered <strong>Qigong</strong> and found that this has not<br />

only improved my health, but has helped my Wing Chun skill to develop as well.<br />

Now time has gone by so quickly that I am now in a privileged position to<br />

teach my own class. I have a great Sifu and good fellow students and I hope my<br />

students benefit as much from the Wing Chun and <strong>Qigong</strong> and each other as much<br />

as I do in my class.<br />

Jens is qualified to teach the<br />

Dayan <strong>Qigong</strong> syllabus and Wing<br />

Chun Kuen. He can be contacted on<br />
