(cont.) From the beginning to the end, he talked softly and humbly with a smile, and regretted by saying, I contacted the city of Suncheon last year in regards to the ECO-farm which I have projected for a long time, but I couldnt succeed in it yet.
He is working on his own project to introduce the excellence of the Korean traditional cultures like the teas, kimchees, etc. He learned the process from the director Park Dong Choon, who succeeded the tea making process of the priest Choeui (suehan: 草衣禪師 1786 1866) of the Korean tea tradition, by the picking of tea leaves which grew naturally in the wild bamboo field to their roasting in the iron kettle which was heated by the wood fire for about two hours without any movement.
He sat down face to face with the director Park on the cooking fireplace, smelled the scent from the roasting tea leaves, and watched the changing process of the amount of moisture in the tea leaves by the adjustment of heat. He also learned the manufacturing process and differences between the Korean teas, the Chinese teas, and Japanese teas and tried to make it by himself.
Friendly conversations between Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon and the director Park Dong Choon near the iron kettle.
I would like to introduce the friendly conversations between Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon and the director Park Dong Choon near the iron kettle.
It was past five oclock in the evening. Its set in the warm and cozy evening. It was hot in the afternoon. Bae Yong Joon arrived in his Land Rover with his staff when the sun was still in the sky, and it was a peaceful evening.
Bae Yong Joon strode and stepped in the front yard of the house that had a wild tea field. He was wearing jeans, sunglasses, a black hat and jacket, and he was carrying a camera which had a long telephoto lens on his shoulder. It was hard to see his eyes from the outside because he was wearing glasses, but he has black, beautiful, and neat eyes.
Bae Yong Joon shook hands with people in the front yard, went to the bamboo fields in the back and came back. Woman picking tea leaves said that they couldnt pick the leaves any more because the sun had set, so they sat down on the floor in groups of twos and threes, and started to separate the good ones (suehan: from the batch).
Bae Yong Joon took pictures from various angles.
We also recorded his every movement in the camera earnestly. But Bae Yong Joons staff requested from us not to report until a certain time. We hesitated until the last minute, but we decided to accept their proposal.
Around five thirty, the roasting work started. It was the roasting process in which the iron kettle hung in the firepot. The director Park opened the lid, held the iron pot in an embracing manner, stirred and roasted the tea leaves with her two arms without stopping. Her face was warmed by the fire. It looked like that she had fair skin from the heat of the tea leaves.
Around six oclock, the second roasting in the kettle started, Bae Yong Joon sat down across the director Park.
Mr. Yi, who has worked with the director for 27 years, handled the adjustment of the fire. Its said that there is a master drummer where a master singer is. The adjustment of the fire is a requisite for the Parks roasting process, and his timing with her is exquisite. The director Park moved her hand to roast the tea leaves without stopping and Bae Yong Joon next to her smelled the scent and put his hand in the iron pot. He admired by saying, Its like magic.
The director Park asked, Cant you feel the scent and five tastes of the tea are getting heavier?, and he responded like an expert by saying, It looks like that its is deep and getting balanced.
Memories in Suncheon with Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon is like a dream in Spring..
Finally, at 6:16 pm, the first tea of this year was born. The director Park kept roasting the tea leaves while they were drinking a cup of tea with cheers.
Bae Yong Joon said, It looks like it must be done at once quickly. Making pottery also needs to be lift up at once to make it right. The more touches, the worse the product. (This evening), the time has gone by so fast. And the director Park said, The changes of heat (suehan: temperature) must be sensed. Its possible when you dont have any other thought in your head. Every body calls it the highest level of meditation.
