Lazy Tea Practice in the Kitchen

This week's practice was at the kitchen counter.



Kind of awkward for whisking the tea, but we were all feeling a little bit lazy. Blame it on summer. At least we enjoyed sweets and tea, and Pia remembered how much she'd forgotten about making tea. Some more photos are in the Photo Album.

Two weeks ago we practiced with the ladle.

James Hagami of PacLeaf tea emailed me today with a wonderful suggestion, and I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it here:

"It seems to me that it's kind of natural to put a kaishi or a large fresh leaf
under the sweets rather than putting them right on a tray, if not on kozara.

"The tray in the picture looks like the urushi finished, yet a tray is a tray,
it doesn't look right to put a food right on a tray.

"The tray in the Chinese tea ceremony looked really nice."
