Tea is enveloped in myth, mystery and spirituality.  This masks its simplicity...its accessibility.  Tea awakens a yearning for harmony and balance.  After indulging in a truly good cup, we may find ourselves in a peaceful state, discovering beauty in the imperfection that surrounds us.

Tea has a myriad of shapes.  If I may speak vulgarly and rashly, tea may shrink and crinkle like a Mongol’s boots.  Or it may look like the dewlap of a wild ox, some sharp, some curling as the eaves of a house.  It can look like a mushroom in whirling flight just as clouds do when they float out from behind a mountain peak.  Its leaves can swell and leap as if they were being lightly tossed on wind-disturbed water.  Others will look like clay, soft and malleable, prepared for the hand of the potter and will be as clear and pure as if filtered through wood.  Still others will twist and turn like the rivulets carved out by a violent rain on newly tilled fields.

            Those are the finest of teas.
