The Weekly Friday Feast

[Former-Member]

Hello everyone. 😀💜
I'm having Earl Grey tea now. Twinings I like best. I looked for a teapot today, couldn't find one I liked.
I had a cute little white one, hubby broke it. 😢
Actually I nust remembered that I have a white and blue one in the cupboard, I forgot about it. Now I need to get tea leaf tea. 😊

Just not nust. Haha! 😂

Tea leaf tea, is that what it's called?

[Former-Member]

Hi there @Former-Member! Yep, tea leaf tea, or just leaf tea, I reckon sounds about right. Go get that teapot and brew up! It's Tea Party O'Clock!

[Former-Member]

Lol @Former-Member most definitely! 😜
Yes they do. I used to teach a Japanese mum English, she was so lovely. She would prepare tea, & bring it out on a beautiful plate with some kind of sweet, & on hot days a face washer to wipe my face. Just part of her hospitality. It was a real sharing of culture for sure.

The tea ceremony is beautiful.

I dont do leaf tea ... only herbal tea ... and I often feel like a coffee pot.

Oh wow - that's such a lovely anecdote @Former-Member. 

I've just done a search and uncovered this:

Wabi-sabi represents Japanese aesthetics and a Japanese world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".

How cool is that?? I feel like that's a kind of beauty I can relate to. ☺️

So glad you passed this through! You would have been a great teacher for that Japanese lady. No wonder she looked after you so well!

Hey @Appleblossom! "Feel like a coffee pot" Hahahaha Lovin it! 😂

Had a double shot coffee with caramel slice this afternoon, while out shopping. 😮 Hope I can sleep tonight. 😀

So tired now. Shopped 'til I dropped.

How thoughtful, re the fsce washer. I love it when they give a warm face washer Iin restaurants. Not that I go out lately.
