— as well as guests’ behaviors for receiving tea and appreciating all the details of the tea event in, a mindful
manner that focuses all the participants on the present moment and place. While at its heart, the most important
aspect of the way of tea remains the simple and sincere exchange of refreshment between host and guest, tea

ceramics, flower arrangement, textiles, and incense appreciation. ” January 1st to December 31st
