TEA CEREMONY

Tea is a way of beauty, a practice of presence, and a medicine of the heart. As a student of tea, and facilitator of tea ceremonies for twelve years, tea has changed Koa’s life and continues to inform her each day. She offers consultations and lessons for tea as a personal practice, as well as custom herbal tea blends.

Why do we long for beauty? The Buddhists would reply the world of beauty is our home and we are born with a love for home. To long for beauty, therefore, is the same as to long for home.
