Testimonials

For seven full years my body was held hostage by severe degeneration of the lumbar discs. At my worst I could not sit, stand, walk or drive for more than fifteen minutes. Even before the pandemic I was confined at home, spending most of every day on a yoga mat or in bed. Over those seven years I tried seventeen different approaches — Eastern and Western, traditional and modern, the practical and the esoteric. Either they did nothing, or they helped a little and then stalled. Not until June 3, 2024, when I encountered the Sanjiao wellness tea ceremony (the "tea practice"), did I truly see daylight.

I have now practiced for 27 months, essentially twice a day, and body and mind have been awakened little by little: circulation and metabolism are stirred, self-healing capacity is activated, cell renewal speeds up. Ailments large and small have clearly improved, and some have disappeared altogether. Listening to fellow practitioners share and to Master Wang's responses, my inner growth has been just as quick. A life that had shrunk away has blossomed again.

Around day 100 my neck was the first to respond. At first, with the morning's first cup, I could not tilt my head back at all — the pain was severe. By the tenth cup my neck was much looser and I could look up; at about three months I could tilt my head back easily on the very first sip, with no pain at all. I had a quiet sense that the practice would repair me in order: cervical spine, then thoracic, then lumbar.

At thirteen months the thoracic spine began to repair, and it continued for about two months. With each exhale there was pain on the right side of the thoracic spine — as I understand it, qi pushing against the lesion. Gradually, sneezing no longer meant back pain and leaking urine, and my bones no longer ached and flared in damp weather. In the autumn and winter of 2025 I visited twelve cities in four months — family, friends, travel, classes — leaving behind for good the life of being trapped at home.

At twenty-four months the lumbar repair reached another level. Cooking, gatherings with friends, going out — seven or eight hours in a row without needing to lie down. My quality of life and my whole state of being have turned around completely.

Other changes in body and mind have been just as clear:

• Atrial fibrillation: from six Holter monitor tests in eight months, with episodes even on medication, to a year and a half of stability on my regular prescription — no more trips to the hospital;
• Chronic pharyngitis improved; my qi is fuller, my voice is strong, and I can speak in long sentences again;
• The knee I injured playing volleyball in my youth no longer hurts;
• My heels no longer crack in winter, and rough skin has become smooth;
• Constipation improved — from small white pellets to well-formed golden stools;
• Sleep improved; I sleep through the night;
• My eyes are bright, age spots have faded, my complexion has gone from dark and dull to rosy, and muscle has come back to my forearms and thighs;
• Awareness has grown: less duality and judgement, more smiles; a heart that is softer, more relaxed and more playful; less fear, able to take a joke; one persona after another dropped away; from weighing every word to speaking freely; able to let small irritations out as they arise — and my relationship with my husband has improved wonderfully.

My deep gratitude to Master Jianping Wang and to the Sanjiao wellness tea ceremony he created. Beyond what it has done for my body, the daily companionship and response have grown my character — and that is the root of it all.

I want to pass this love and blessing on, so that the countless people who, like me, struggle with illness and search endlessly for a cure can take fewer wrong turns, find this practice sooner, benefit sooner, take back ownership of their health and their awareness, and let life blossom again.

Dear fellow practitioners — let me share what I have truly experienced in three years and ten months of practicing the Sanjiao wellness tea ceremony.

My name is Xia Jing and I am 67. Before the practice I had a number of long-standing complaints:

• Dry eyes, a mild cataract and sensitivity to light — since practicing, my eyes have become bright again;
• My constipation cleared up completely;
• I used to have insomnia and needed medication to fall asleep; that is gone too.

The most serious was my heart. Doctors told me the vessels in my heart run abnormally from birth, which causes tachycardia. It first struck when I was twelve — my heart rate reached 206 beats a minute and took three days to settle. I was once a parachutist and a road cyclist, and heavy exertion could easily send me into tachycardia, sometimes into shock. After I married, the attacks continued at 180 beats a minute; while driving I could only pull over and wait it out, and one episode lasted a day and a half. An IV at the hospital would end an attack quickly, but long-term medication was no answer, and my doctor wanted me to have surgery, which I always refused. Since practicing the Sanjiao wellness tea ceremony the episodes have quietly disappeared. It was only when Julia Zheng mentioned that her atrial fibrillation was improving that it struck me — I had not had an episode of tachycardia in a very long time.

Then there are my knees. I love exercise; for years I ran twelve kilometres every morning and often hiked in the mountains. After a certain age, somehow, my knees began to hurt — so badly that climbing a slope or a step was hard. Now, apart from a little ache when I have not rested well, and with care to protect them, they are essentially pain-free.

These changes in the body are solid, real surprises.

Beyond the body, the practice has changed my character. I used to look outward for everything, mind what others thought, and accommodate everyone — living tense and tired. Day after day of practice opened and settled my heart; I learned to look inward and to care for myself. My energy and spirit are now far better than most people my age.

Every day I keep both sessions: the morning one raises yang qi, the shen-hour one in the afternoon speeds metabolism, with a short nap at noon. What is especially rare is that Master Wang, the founder, is with us every day and answers every question; together with the resonance of all the fellow practitioners, this has become an important part of my growth in later life.

Age has never been the boundary of growth. In our group Zhang Wei is past ninety, and Qingdan, Tongge and Bixia are in their eighties — my uncles' and aunts' generation. They lead the daily tea calls, and their voices and breath grow fuller and younger. Keep practicing, keep settling inward, and body and life will return tenderness and beauty to us. I hope my sharing gives newcomers confidence and strength: keep going, and your body will give you the answer.

This October I will turn 92. About three years ago, in October 2023, I began drinking the Sanjiao wellness tea developed and led by Master Jianping Wang.

Before the tea, my body had many troubles:

• Severe coronary heart disease — Chinese medicine had helped, but poor blood supply still brought on frequent angina;
• Severe osteoporosis — after two falls both hips were operated on, and the cartilage in both knees was badly worn and often painful;
• Back pain;
• Insomnia, for which I often took sleeping pills. After I retired, my spirits were low as well.

Since starting the tea, with the Master's guidance and help, and with fellow practitioners learning from one another, body and mind have both clearly improved. Angina is now rare, walking is markedly better, my knees are essentially free of pain, my sleep has improved, and I have basically stopped taking sleeping pills.

This is the result of three years of keeping up the morning tea and the afternoon (shen-hour) tea every single day, under the Master's guidance.

The Sanjiao wellness tea has changed my old age. I have learned what the Master teaches us: to love yourself, to be with yourself, to live in the present and live each present day well. I am advanced in years, yet every day is full and happy.

My connection with the Sanjiao tea ceremony practice began on December 8, 2023, in the Wuyi Mountains. At that time I was struggling with moderate depression and depended on medication to get through the day, and the side effects were deeply affecting my life and my work. I soon realized that something had to change, so I decided to try stopping the medication and instead joined the Sanjiao practice every morning at six o'clock.

Before I knew it, change had quietly taken hold. I began to sleep soundly for about four hours, and even after waking I could stay in a state of deep, restful relaxation. Little by little, life and work returned to their original course. At a gathering in 2024 I met a German doctor of biomedicine who measured my life energy with his instrument. The reading suggested that my depressive state was being held steadily in check by some kind of practice. Curious, he asked what I practiced. I told him: the Sanjiao tea ceremony — and that I drink Sanjiao tea every morning and join the six o'clock online practice group.

I have shared this experience many times. Fellow tea practitioners have asked me how I came out of depression without medication. My answer is always the same: "Keep up the Sanjiao practice, and be sure to drink the Sanjiao tea along with it." To this day I have been practicing and drinking Sanjiao tea for more than two years. My life now feels both sunlit and gentle — clear, steady, and full of inner strength.
