| ideal view for afternoon tea |
Hardly there is one day passing without my reading an article mentioning about tea. The title of today's NY Times op-ed piece
"The Tea Maker" caught my eye. Written by Yoko Ono, John Lennon's artistic widow, her short but poignant piece brings about the essence of her loving relationship with her husband. It would invariably reminds many reader's own tea moments. I recall my first formal tea as a teenager in an American teacher's house, the tea-toasting as a guest with my parents at a banquet, the iced tea break during a garden tour with my daughter in a lovely creamy yellow room, the rustic style tea tasting at the terrace where tea was produced, an elaborate high-mountain tea tasting prepared by the farmer's son with radiant happy face..... Occasions vary and long past, but the pleasant memories are refreshingly alive.
