Warm the teapot
Pour hot water into the teapot or gaiwan. Swirl gently, then discard the water.
This warms the vessel, inviting softness to the leaves.
Awaken the leaves
Place the tea leaves inside. Pour a small stream of hot water-just enough to cover. Swirl gently, then pour it away.
A rinse to brush off dust, and whisper the leaves awake.

Sip gently, and let each layer reveal itself

Every cup holds a different mood, a quiet invitation. Which one suits your day?
A quiet morning: Brew hot. Sit down. Let the warmth hold you as you listen inward.
