Looking back through past pictures
I find so many pictures of tea;
but it isn't just the tea that I find fascinating
but the experience of tea.
More and more I realize that tea time is part of an experience.
It is an experience I love for it's quiet times and
gentle times shared with friends and family.
Tea can be savored with our morning toast or
a time of quiet at the end of the day.
One teashop in town reads your Tarot cards as you sip tea.
Others use it as meditation either alone or with a small group.
There are traditions and ceremonies wrapped in with sipping tea.
As a blogger who often writes about tea,
it really is the sharing of the experience of tea.
From a child's tea party,
To WuWo Tea Ceremony,
My early morning tea time alone,
The elegance of afternoon tea while traveling,
Breakfast tea time shared with my "live-in gardener",
Sitting in the garden,
Or tasting tea in a tea shop.
I savor each and every experience with a good cup of tea.
How do you experience tea?
"Though I cannot flee
From the world of corruption,
I can prepare tea
With water from a mountain stream
And put my heart to rest."
