The everyday ritual of tea

Making a cup of tea can become a deliberate pause. Choose a cup, heat the water and wait. These few gestures make room for an aroma and a flavour in the middle of a busy day.

Begin with the instructions on the package: quantity, temperature and infusion time depend on the product. Notice the result and keep track of your preferences. A lighter or stronger cup is a personal choice.

The ritual can be solitary or shared. A small table, something to read or a conversation is enough. Its value lies in the attention we give it, without turning the pause into another task to rush through.
