Peet's Coffee & Tea

For 4/25 prepped in a yixing teapot and took it to go in a tea tumbler.

For 4/22: A few friends came by for tea again, so I decided to do a full blown gong fu tasting and brought out my mini tea table, matching kettle and my Dragon tea set. Wasn’t quite the experience of taking tea with the Master, but is was good to spend time with friends.

Prepped gong fu style for some friends. It was 94 today, but they stilled enjoyed it.

Drink Your Tea

by Thich Nhat Hanh

Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
as if it is the axis
on which the world earth revolves
- slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future;
Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life.

Prepared the tea in a small stone(not clay) tea pot; holds enough tea for one ceramic tasting cup. Rich amber color, fantastic apricot flavor. Adjusting temp of the water up slightly with each additional steeping, rendered 5 in total. Black twisted leaves, open up and turn green as they are brewed.
