The Tea ritual.......

I never needed great things to make me happy,but the little things of life done with a lot of love gives me a lot of joy ,literally my cup runneth over.my heart feels happy.

One such pleasure giving ritual is my tea time.now it is night 22:30 hrs and I just felt like having tea.

I used to have tea with cakes,biscuits ,small sandwiches.......once upon a time .but now it's just tea

Boiled water.....soak the green tea,and pour ....drink ,as if it is mana.enjoy every sip,look at the tea,

Take your time to sip ,let the mouth soak in the fragrance ,take it in .its an art ,enjoying tea ........

Art less art.

Since its just tea ,the tea has to be good quality ,and to respect that quality ,the cup has to be a beautiful fine bone china.the whole thing is subtle and very pleasing to the eyes .my tea ritual.

I love tea.my idea of heaven would be ........rain with lightening and thunder,room with the fragrance of fresh flowers....Mogra ,ideally ,a ghee Diya burning at the altar,a good book to read 

Classic preferably,and a pot of good tea.thats the ultimate adda with the self.

Thank you.Shalom.

Peace be with you.
