The best quality tea must have creases like the leathern boot of Tartar horsemen, curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and be wet and soft like a fine earth newly swept by rain. ~Lu Yu
I know this is a nice ceremony and performance but if you travel to Asia beware of tea ceremony scams, I got charged $100 on my credit card in Shanghai.
REPORT IT AT SCAMSPOTTERSDOTCOM. Probably the scam happens more in China than Japan.
Absolutely brilliant. So surreal to see a funky white guy (in neon over robes no less!) re-engage modern Japanese folks in their own traditions. It would be interesting to see how people in some rural town in Texas would respond to Markuz...
