I Love Tea
For many people tea is a popular drink to have with friends. In many countries around the world, tea drinking is an important social occasion. It is a time to relax and enjoy the loveliness of the simple things around you. "Tea," they say, "is a healthy, enjoyable and stimulating drink, full of good qualities. It reduces loneliness and calms your heart; it is a comfort in everyday life."
My intention is to have tea with friends around the world.

- The Tea Room
- Please, join us for tea and conversation. "Attune your hearts to the other guests."
"This final "secret," teaching the desirability of harmonious behavior, applies both to host and guests." ~~Rikyu in "Seven Secrets of Tea"
"I've always found great comfort in a warm cup of tea. It holds such good memories for me: my father taking me into the woods to dig up sassafras roots and we'd wash them off and boil them in a cast iron pot over a wood stove. The whole room would fill with the smell." Sarah hempelstudios.com
Tea Time Etiquette
Tea cups with a handle are held by placing one's fingers to the front and back of the handle with one's pinkie up again allows balance. Pinkie up does mean straight up in the air, but slightly tilted. It is not an affectation, but a graceful way to avoid spills. Never loop your fingers through the handle, nor grasp the vessel bowl with the palm of your hand.
Do not stir your tea, with your tea spoon, in sweeping circular motions. Place your tea spoon at the six o'clock position and softly fold the liquid towards the twelve o'clock position two or three times. Never leave your tea spoon in your tea cup. When not in use, place your tea spoon on the right side of the tea saucer. Never wave or hold your tea cup in the air. When not in use, place the tea cup back in the tea saucer. If you are at a buffet tea hold the tea saucer in your lap with your left hand and hold the tea cup in your right hand. When not in use, place the tea cup back in the tea saucer and hold in your lap. The only time a saucer is raised together with the teacup is when one is at a standing reception.
Milk is served with tea, not cream. Cream is too heavy and masks the taste of the tea. Although some pour their milk in the cup first, it is probably better to pour the milk in the tea after it is in the cup in order to get the correct amount.
When serving lemon with tea, lemon slices are preferable, not wedges. Either provide a small fork or lemon fork for your guests, or have the tea server neatly place a slice in the tea cup after the tea has been poured. Be sure never to add lemon with milk since the lemon's citric acid will cause the proteins in the milk to curdle.

"Or the first time I ever had matcha in Japan. We were at a pet shop getting our first puppy. We had to wait for my father to come with enough yen. While we waited, the shop owner wisked us some matcha and served it in a tea bowl. I held the bowl with both hands and sipped the green liquid with delight!" Sarah hempelstudios.com
