Daily rituals: preparing tea and herbal tea
Our daily lives are full of routines and activities that keep us in constant motion without losing our sense of stability. When we build daily moments and rituals that allow us to pause and surrender ourselves completely to the present, without the pressure of daily speed or the need to feel productive at all times, we connect with an intimate and fulfilling part of ourselves. For us, one of our favorite daily rituals is preparing tea and herbal tea.
Daily rituals with a cup of tea
Tea rituals originate with traditional ceremonies in Japan between the 12th and 14th centuries, and even earlier in China, and are composed not only of the careful preparation of the drink, but also of the atmosphere and space, taking into account architecture, aromas, design and utensils.
In our lives we can take these traditional elements and adapt them to design our own ritual.
