a tea party after dark
)
Long weeks require a DJ and a tea party. While my guys enjoyed their Harry-thon last Friday, I opted for a night of tea, dancing and art. It was so needed. The combo took place at the Pacific Asia Museum. I danced a bit, caught up with old friends … then sat quietly and took an amazing sip of tea at a lovely tasting. Moms, I’m sure you know that “sip”. The one that feels like a warm bubble bath … a massage … a cool breeze … 10 gorgeous men feeding you grapes … Wait, what?
OK, back to the story…
Linda Louie did an amazing presentation on the history of Pu-erh tea right before she served up a delicious cup of magic. I loved watching her hands. They moved so delicately as she prepared the tea. It was a slow, poetic movement in itself very soothing. The presentation was followed by words I shall live by, “Life is too short to drink bad tea”. I realized that I really REALLY needed to step up my tea game. The whole tea bag in hot water is synonymous with sweat pants – It’s like you’ve just given up.
Thanks P.A.M. and the Bana Tea Company for such a great evening.
One of my favorite things to do with my daughters is take them to our local tea room. Thanks for this!
“The whole tea bag in hot water is synonymous with sweat pants – It’s like you’ve just given up” made me cackle! I’m going to use this v. clever line. Gorgeous photography helped me take a “mini-vacation.”
Like wearing sweatpants, eh? Like you’ve given up, eh? Thanks for putting it into perspective :-P
Yummy! I love tea!
How fun this event looks! Glad you had that sip…I think I need one of those(;
This looks like so much fun. I enjoy a good cup of tea, and the cute cups to serve in. Never has it felt like 10 gorgeous men feeding me grapes. :) Maybe 5. :) I might have to make my way to this place soon….every friday night?
Inspiring, vibrant pictures to go along with an inspiring message: life is too short to… do a lot of things we settle for. Lovely!
Oh! I didn’t know this was going on at the Pacific Asia Museum. This looks so interesting and close to where I live. Thank you!
i loooove tea. currently have about 10 flavors that I need to get through. I love the experience of lounging out, candles lit, listening to jazz or classical and sipping on green or ooling! love the china in these pics!
