Japanese and Chinese tea practice, domesticated
Make one cup of tea with everything you have. The sound of water, the colour changing, the warmth through the cup, the first sip. Cultures built entire ceremonies on this because attention given to a small thing returns you to all things.
How to do it
- 1Choose a tea and put everything else down
- 2Listen to the water, watch the pour
- 3Hold the cup and feel the heat before drinking
- 4Drink slowly with nothing else happening
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
