I think I better get myself up to speed!relevanttealeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147226538911605568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-10777123454641030862012-12-13T15:21:44.781-08:002012-12-13T15:21:44.781-08:00Groovy Blog Page Stephanie!

But you are right about how it really doesn't require a whole lot to enjoy a simple cup of tea!Angela McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928913868086900802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-33085164239269271612012-12-08T09:52:33.434-08:002012-12-08T09:52:33.434-08:00Beautiful, Stephanie!

The simpler the better for me because in the end what is so special is just holding that cup in my hands, smelling the aroma, and tasting. When done with a friend it is even more special.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-44325054346400878972012-12-07T19:32:09.130-08:002012-12-07T19:32:09.130-08:00Your photos are beautiful!

Although the ceremony --- and your home brewing description --- are simple, I am still learning and I think I make it too complicated yet. I suppose it simply involves unlearning and allowing new in.La Tea Dahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138624485398178242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-72933498286111903602012-12-07T16:21:58.698-08:002012-12-07T16:21:58.698-08:00I love this post!

It's clingy to the porous surfaces. When I prepare a new teapot, I bathe the pot in boiling water several times.<br /><br />Also, it's best to dedicate an yixying pot to a particular type of tea. It will absorb the essence of that tea over time. Whether you can truly brew tea from an old pot without leaf is a bit of a question, but certainly a well seasoned pot from a dark tea would change the flavor of a lighter tea brewed in it.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.com
