introduction to gaiwan tea brewing. This session covered an overview of this traditional brewing vessel and how to brew tea, from the amount of tea, the time to brew the tea, the pleasure of smelling the tea at different stages (dry, wet, on the lid, in the bowl and in the cup) and how the scents chance, as well as how to hold the vessels. I learned that porcelain is the best material to not alter the flavor of the tea. I love my new tea set and have enjoyed this experience. I will continue to use the set, and look forward to trying different teas. The session was all I hoped it to be!

I really enjoyed the warmth and honey notes in the tea. The process of brewing in a Gaiwan was educational and enhanced my love of tradition and enjoyment of the tea. There is something to be said for the relaxation it brings when one takes a deep breath and inhales the aromas. This tradition was as effective as a mediation for me.
