Greeting the new year

08/01/2011, posted by Cha in journal

The pics bellow are from the first tea setup from this year. I was really tired at that point, in the previous day I traveled almost 20 hours. I required something not so light to restore my senses. I chosed my 2000 Yiwu sheng puerh, a cake that was very unforgiving to me at some point in the past.

As I setup my tea table, I realized that almost each item has a story now and a particular significance. I brewed from a cake that served me as a teacher and now it’s a great companion. I used a teapot that found it’s way to the right tea and taught me the value of the right teapot. I used my first Cha Bu. The Cha Bu and the cups connect me to a blog which influenced me the most. The tea pitcher also comes from a local shop which had it’s own role. All the items now have a story and a meaning. They help me to realize how things connect.

I started the year with a setup that reflected many things from my personal history. I hope the future will bring me many more experiences that will help me to grow.

In a way of another every blog listed here, every person reading my blog, everyone who likes or dislikes me, everyone has helped me to grow. Thank you all.
