Experience tea as a relationship.
“To be” is to inter-be. You cannot just be by yourself alone. You have to inter-be with every other thing.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh
Being Tea is about practice.
I believe Tea – practicing, learning, sharing and teaching – to be one of humanity’s most powerful connectors.
Tea is so much more than a beverage – it is an ancient culture, a way of life, and a contemplative teacher. Tea touches all of your senses, supporting body, intellect and emotion. A tea practice teaches us to be vulnerable as we sit in the present moment, and witnesses our being listened to.
Tea is a living study and distinctly benefits from relationship-style learning. Tea is also a philosophy, and one that can serve us very well in stressful, intense times. This is how I teach tea, and this is how I listen to Tea.
