Antique Puerh Tea aged from 1969.

「伴」：天圓地方(杯為圓，杯墊為方)，茶湯在天地之間，天地任遨遊，好茶為伴。

「伴」：伴，得有人(人字邊)，要有兩半(合而為一完整)(椰棗剖半、核桃剖半)。

剝開核桃，取半個核桃殼作為茶杯使用，溫熱的茶湯倒滿核桃殼，待五分鐘後茶湯液面降低約略十分之一高度，殘留於核桃殼內的油脂融入茶湯內，品飲使用茶湯。核桃殼茶，現剝現飲，有茶湯有茶點，茶湯湯韻更深沉久遠。

Open the walnut shell, use one half as a tea cup, pour warm hot tea water into it, wait 3 minutes (for the walnut oil to be merged into the tea water) then you drink and enjoy the tea; with the walnuts for refreshments. The taste on the depth of tea water is now deepened and wonderful! This is not just fun/interesting but also good to health.

As for the title "half full, half empty", the half full CUP (filled with tea water) represents COMPASSION, and the other half empty CUP (at the rear) represents WISDOM.

前面的核桃杯裝滿普洱茶湯，茶湯代表甘露，裝滿茶湯的核桃杯代表慈悲。後面全空的核桃杯，則代表智慧與空性。

Same thing works on coffee, try this, have fun!
