Tea is an indispensable component of a refined, scholarly lifestyle. Jat See-yeu enjoyed scholarly companionship over tea, and as such, tea poetry had become a common subject in his calligraphy. This work features a poem on brewing tea by the renowned Tang Dynasty poet Pi Rixiu in cursive script. The overall composition is harmoniously balanced with free-flowing and natural brushstrokes.
茶是文人雅士生活中不可缺少的元素，翟仕堯同樣喜歡與書友品茗論學，茶詩也成為了他書法創作的常見題材。此幅作品以草書寫著名唐代詩人皮日休的煮茶詩，全篇章法疏密有致，行筆流暢自然。
