Excellent educational tea movies online

I invite you to tune in for an amazing experience online – but make yourself a good cup of tea first (you will crave it), and be prepared to spend at least an hour in this great company.

These movies are amazing! Very well made, educational and beautiful. Enjoy and share them – and tea - with your friends and family. Yours in Tea! Kirsten http://www.tea4u.com/

Run for Tea

Usually we tea people are known to be calm creatures, being soothed by the devine benefits of the tea, however, this is not always the case - not among the monks in Tibet: This award winning photo of the 2007 Costo International Photo Contest was just published in the Costo Connections magazine, March 2008. It was taken by a Taiwanese woman who was in Tibet in May 2007 and saw this young lama run accros the courtyard into the temple to make tea for an elder lama. Shu-Yu Liu got first prize of $2,500. Beautifully captured moment. I will walk out to my kitchen and make myself a nice cup of tea - actually I will make a Pu'erh mini tuocha in honor of the lamas in Tibet. I hope they don't have to stress every day to please the older lamas. Yours in Tea, Kirsten
