auraTeas Gourmet Tea Couple weeks ago my Chadao teacher showed me how to do Wu Wo Tea Ceremony. The preparation is quite important for a smooth event, so I took these pictures to remind myself.

This is the coolest portable tea set. I'm thinking to myself how I'd like to be able to take something like this out with me and to have tea somewhere remote with it. I guess the only thing I'd have to worry about is getting hot water.

There's some good portable hot water pot, you might find it in Japanese stores. I got one which keep water really hot for the whole day!! Maybe not boiling hot, but still usable.

These are Chadao questions from a tea friend Andrew, and my Chadao teacher Ms. Lai gave the answers below. 1. How do we fit "chadao" into our high tech, high speed way of life...

Though I also like the answer to #3, that more people will love tea, #1 just answers it all for me. I have had to slow down not just for a moment or two each day with tea. I've had to slow down my whole life and develop not only patience but contentment if all the hype and false promises never come true.

Chadao definitely makes the world slow down for me. Reminds me that it's not the destination but the journey that counts. Who would have imagined a little cup of tea can hold the world within it?

Oh, thank you for generously helping those folks! I too will see about making an order ASAP. Some of us have suffered devastating flooding here in the Upper Midwest (twice within the last 2 years) too.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your kindness to people thousands miles away.
I do feel the world's changing, when there's water, it'd be a huge one; when there's wind, it'd destroy many families..
We are experiencing a very slow month, so I think we'll add on some of our personal saving for donation.

I'm finally get around to tasting the samples you sent. It's been very hectic here (family emergencies) and taking time for chadao is very helpful and calming.
