"a rushed session feels like a session...Jess,<br /><br />"a rushed session feels like a session shouldn't have been had at all"<br /><br />Good advice. You should always consider time when deciding how you should prepare your tea. Obviously this type of preparation is best if you have no time constraints. If at work or in a rush you can always consume the tea in a more fitting manner.<br /><br />One prefers to use this guy:<br /><br />http://mattchasblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/ceramic-one-cup-tea-maker-in-pu-gak.html<br /><br />This tea session one "blanked" hahaha...<br /><br />Hster,<br /><br />Will continue to make you proud!

I've often felt a jealous twinge concerning the predominance of Japanese or Chinese tea culture, but your blog really unveils the unique identity of Korean tea culture. <br /><br />Hsterhsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-72589675734068884712012-07-09T18:22:02.524-07:002012-07-09T18:22:02.524-07:00Matt, what a beautiful post.

Experience has proven (to me, anyway) that a "rushed" session feels like a session shouldn't have been had at all - which is why I'm hesitant to brew at work where there are time constraints. <br /><br />Your session sounded most peaceful. Did you attempt a "blanking" of your mind, or was it more of keeping positive thought? Was someone on your mind and you were drinking in their honour, so to speak? Just curious.<br /><br />-JessCentranthushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294636792638405481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-76687634483958709052012-07-09T17:46:52.025-07:002012-07-09T17:46:52.025-07:00charlotte billabongk,

Tea prepared in mindfulness and great concentration is a very intense moment, just being present to the present...<br /><br /> I'm also glad to find information on korean tea culture on your blog. Since several months, I've been looking all over the web for korean tea information, and it's not so easy. So thanks for sharing, it's actually very precious for my researches.<br /><br />Thanks again.Charlotte Billabongkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057541614289612351noreply@blogger.com
