Proper Tea

                       Picture from the Taschen book 'Japanese Beauties'   

For those of you fortunate enough to be able to set your own agenda during the day, a sneaky freebie for you here.

We British have our own obsession with that esteemed and often life-resolving beverage, tea. However, the Japanese have taken the whole thing to a higher aesthetic plane, as is often their way.

In keeping with the precise, delicate and not-a-little beautiful way of Japan, their ceremony around tea gives a whole different perspective to the milk-and-sugar ways.

Go see for yourself at The Way of Tea, a demonstration of such subtle beauty.
