The Mindfulness of drinking tea…..
Tea is the product of the whole universe
the earth the sky and much hard work….
The “terroir” of tea refers to the
environmental conditions the tea grows in, the sunlight, rain, wind, clouds
earth type, and minerals, everything that nourishes the tea bush and gives tea
its unique taste. In the act of adding hot water to tealeaves we create an intimate
dialogue between man and nature. Drinking our tea mindfully we elevate tea from
the mundane to the spiritual and create a state of “Wa” – harmony, “Kei” –
respect, “Sei” – purity, and “Jaku”
– tranquility.
