The Magic of Tea


Are you looking for a way to meditate but are not really sure where to start? How about starting with a simple cup of tea!

Tea is a meditation. It slows you down and makes you more mindful and aware of the world around you.

It is nearly impossible to gulp it down and rush through it the way you might do other things. It’s a full-bodied sensory experience – like the finest of wines – and you are along for the ride.

Like meditation, drinking a cup of tea is about entering into the NOW!

Thick Nhat Hanh says it best of all: “Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis
 on which the earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without
 rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment.
 Only this moment is life.”

Enjoy a cup today!
