Back to Our Roots (and Leaves)
While there's so much to explore in the world of tea, it's important to start at the beginning. Whether you're just getting into tea or you're looking to rediscover its magic, the best place to begin and keep returning to is Leaves in a Bowl. All you need is a bowl, hot water, and a large-leaf red or purple tea. Place a few leaves into your bowl, add hot water, and sip mindfully.
Leaves in a Bowl is the perfect morning ritual because of its elegant simplicity: in our tired waking moments, our only task is to prepare water and quiet the mind. Settling into a calm and comfortable seat, let the warmth of the tea slowly bring you to life, noticing the flavors and energy as they transform. We suggest making time to enjoy three bowls of tea in silence each morning, seeing how it sets a tone for your day and builds into a practice.
Everything you need is included in the Living Tea Meditation Kit, with guided meditation instructions from Living Tea Founder Colin Hudon.
