Tea practice, Feb. 24


Tea practice on Tuesday was ryakubondate. Laura was teishu for Kristin (shokyaku), Harvey (jikyaku) and Holly (makyaku). I was impressed with how much more naturally Laura made tea this week than last week, with smoother motions and less hesitation.

We used the "temari ball" chawan and orange natsume with flower designs. Flowering quince is blooming. It's one of my favorite flowers for chabana.

Don't forget: the temari ball chawan was used specially in honor of Mardi Gras. The colorful balls are reminiscent of the festive beads.

The week before I was definitely not much in the zone. I must have been focusing on the birthday sake to follow :*)
