Between his studies Lu Yu often went to the countryside in order to gather tea leaves and herbs. In one of those trips Lu Yu stumbled upon a spring underneath a 6-foot round rock. The water from this spring was extremely clear and clean and Lu Yu used this water to brew tea. The tea brewed of this water tasted much better than usual. Lu Yu realized then how important the quality water for brewing tea is.
