About Tang Chao Officium Primarium: Involucrum Theae Viatoriae

Tang Chao est ratio involucri theae viatoriae comparata. Parva capsa quadrata lateres theae in forma compacta itineri apta continet. Capsa structura cardinis et foraminis conststructa est, ita ut nullo glutine opus sit. Bambusa ad capsam adhibetur, et charta kraftina ad involucrum externum, quod sumptus infimos servat et exitum naturae amicum fovet. Anulus et funiculus permittunt ut capsa suspendatur, teneatur aut portetur. Anguli rotundati etiam loca reflexa manus premere possunt, quae consuetudo ex medicina traditionali Sinensi ducta est. Capsa iterum adhiberi potest.
