It is more than just a cup of tea. It is a culture.
There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.
Tea to the body as music is to the soul.
The process of creating meaning takes place throughout life and is shaped by our social and cultural environment.
Tea culture is defined by the way tea is made and consumed, by the way the people interact with tea, and by the aesthetics surrounding tea drinking.
