It's tea time~âšð
I've recently started attending a weekly tea ceremony class (Urasenke), and honestly, it's way more difficult than I ever imagined, leaving me flustered every time~ðµðŠ. I thought it was just about boiling water and whisking tea, but it's so much more than that, I was shockedð³ There's just so much to memorize, my head feels like it's going to steamð€¯ I'm always nervous, wondering "Am I handling the utensils correctly?", and even the angle of my bow and how I place my hands are meticulously decided. By the end of the lesson, my whole body is stiff~ð§âïžâš Having to consider the seasonal scroll, the flowers, and the sweets... the world of tea is truly incredibly deepðžð¡ When I enter that tense atmosphere of the tea room, I get so nervous I feel like my hands and feet might move together, and I'm panicking internally with a "Hyaa...!"ð€ But when my teacher says, "You've improved a little," or when the tea served after the lesson is surprisingly deliciousðµ, it's funny how I find myself thinking, "Well, maybe I'll try a little harder"ð±

The Way of Tea is also a wonderful investment for centering the mind. I mostly delve into gem analysis and economic structures, but perhaps immersing myself in learning it wouldn't be so bad. I sincerely cheer for the results of your practice, Hou.

Greetings! Tea time is so elegant~~ I used to take lessons during my school days... but I've been away from hobbies for a long time... Perhaps I should try something new...? Tea... and tea snacks are also so appealing... Oh my, my gluttony has been revealed...

Tea ceremony greatly enhances one's Yamato Nadeshiko lady-like elegance, doesn't it? (*ÂŽâïœ) From the utensils to the flowers, everything has meaning, making it a profound world~ðµ The Grand Tea Party hosted by the Lady's Club, organized by schwarz1914, will also be held in the near future, won't it? ð€

Greetings ð¹âš I was in the tea ceremony club throughout middle and high school! Hearing 'Urasenke' makes me feel a bit nostalgic~ There's so much to remember, from how to fold the fukusa and open the lid, to where to place everything! When you add in things like the tea scroll (chakake), I was completely overwhelmed... and there are many words you don't hear in daily life... I'm cheering you on so you can enjoy the tea ceremony, my lady~! (ê*ËáµË)êðµ
