an excerpt from Tea Here Now by Donna Fellman & Lh at TeaMuse by Adagio Teas

Hospitality in tea is heartfelt openness: offering rest, connection, and nourishment. From Lao Tse lingering at Han Pass to share wisdom over tea, to Japanese chanoyu’s mindful care, tea reveals “right relationship.” What matters is not flawless etiquette, but a free, magnanimous heart sincerely devoted to the guest.
