Our cup of tea ....

Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticism--Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life. 

- Kakuzo Okakura, The Book of Tea

  

We at the studio love our tea and make it an afternoon ritual to pause and share a pot - especially on these chilly days when the soul is in need of a warm hug.  Below - a collection

Ginger Tea, Fresh Juice for Life

 There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony  known as afternoon tea.
