tetsubin heirloom
rejoice harvest of new tea
quiet revery


ancient observance
ceremony for new tea
tetsubin awaits 


(I have a beautiful cast iron deep aqua tetsubin with a dragonfly design. If they weren't so expensive I'd love to collect and display them. )

      All of us have rituals, some conscious, some unconscious, that help us get through a day.

    How nice to be in with an ancient ritual! It can be an education! Nicely Maggie!

    We drink mate (pronounced mah-tay) here in Bend ... very soothing.

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog ... I didn't know the elderly woman who was so horrifically abused, but it did happen in Oregon ~

      That would outrage me too hearing or reading about it. Thank you for your visit!

    New tea should have the best of welcomes. Like that.

    Thank you all for visiting and comments. I've never used the tetsubin although it is usable. It's for serving tea rather than making it. But I love the ritual of sipping tea for comfort or relaxing while watching beauty. Love that new "white tea" which is the new/early tea buds.
