Yes, some take their tea so seriously, they build their own tea house! I, myself would just love to have a tea room. Have you considered making a tea corner? There are ways to create space in our environment for moments of serenity, be it a space for prayer, meditation or a yoga mat or a cozy reading nook. Do you have a few moments at the start or end of your day for reflection? Consider a symbolic mug or beautiful tea cup used especially for a time of gratitude before starting your day or drifting off in blissful sleep. Life moves so quickly, 5 minutes to appreciate it can make it a little sweeter!

Long-term consumption of Pu-erh tea is believed to help reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and play an important role in preventing heart disease and cancer.
Japan Genmai-cha:Genmai-cha, a Japanese specialty, stands for "brown rice tea". Green tea is blended with roasted, partially puffed rice giving it a "toasty" flavor. The quality of Genmai-cha varies widely depending on the base tea used. While most Genmai-cha sold in this country is based on larger leaf Bancha, this specific grade consists of a blend of Sencha and fine Bancha, making it very fragrant and aromatic. Genmai-cha is lower in caffeine than other green teas.
