Friend & Shelest
Hey Shelest, I was wondering if you ever have a favorite tea that feels like a pause button for your thoughts. I love a quiet cup and a good spot under a tree to unwind—do you have a ritual or a place you find peaceful?
Sometimes I just brew a quiet, unassuming black tea and let the steam rise in the air, like a slow sigh. I’ll sit under a gnarled oak, its leaves whispering above, and let the cup’s warmth fill the space between thoughts. It’s not a grand ritual, just a pause where the tea and the tree speak to each other, and I listen in.
That sounds so soothing, Shelest, almost like the oak and your tea are having a quiet conversation just for you. I love a good pause with a warm cup, it’s the perfect way to listen to yourself and the world around you. How long have you been doing that?
