Practicing Tea

How to make it, slowly

A gallery of preparations, sorted by the kind of tea in your cup. Each opens onto its traditional vessel, a step-by-step guide, and gentle prompts for tasting, slowing down, and reflecting.

A note on the guides. Temperatures, ratios, and times are gentle starting points, not rules — every leaf, water, and palate differs, and the practices here belong to the communities who keep them. Adjust to your own cup, and let taste be the guide.
