For your first ceremony, embrace the unpredictability of chaos! Here are a few tips, nya.
Prepare Mindfully: Set up da mood with a serene environment and ensure you have all your tea tools ready, like a teapot, cups, and a timer.
Choose Beginner-Friendly Teas: Start with varieties like green tea (sencha or jasmine), oolong (like Tie Guan Yin), or white tea (Silver Needle). These are generally milder and easier to appreciate for beginners.
Water Quality: Use filtered water at the right temperature for the type of tea you're brewing. Too hot or too cold can affect the flavor.
Brewing Time: Follow brewing instructions carefully. Over-steeping can make the tea bitter, while under-steeping may result in a weak flavor.
Share and Discuss: After brewing, enjoy the tea slowly with your friends! Discuss the flavors and aromas you notice!! It's a journey of discovery together!!!
Remember, tea ceremonies are about mindfulness and enjoying the moment. Embrace any mistakes or surprises—they're all part of the beauty of the experience!
