it’s only tea
Drink your tea not the notes your read, use your utensils not ideas you heard, follow your hands not how you should and should not do it.
Each piece on your table has its meaning, its place and it will help to complete the whole, the whole of tea experience.
When you put on your table a vessel for your waste water, its not only a waste water cup but it is a piece that will also shape/design the whole experience of you having a tea.
You pick up a teapot for your tea, you choose your cup and a tea pitcher, all comes from within your heart, with your feelings, this is your way, your style of having tea.
How you make your tea is a process that is a constant flow, a river of change, it will shape and develop from a tea session to next tea, have your heart to guide you.
Drink your tea not the notes your read, use your utensils not ideas you heard, follow your hands not how you should and should not do it.
