"Tea is naught but this;
First you heat the water,
Then you make the tea,
Then you drink it properly,
That is all you need to know."
~Rikyu
Tea fields in the mountains of Alishan, Taiwan.
Blossoms are blooming and the kettle is on.
Savoring a good cup of tea this morning and remembering traveling to the tea fields of Taiwan a few years ago in springtime. Yesterday I attended a tea tasting and tasted ten different teas. The caffeine effect is still sitting with me today and there was very little sleep last night. Still gathered around the teapot with a couple friends is such a delight, occasionally it is worth losing a bit of sleep. Tonight I will sleep and dream of traveling again one day.
Happy new week, dear friends!
