You can just smell it, but cupping will concentrate the aroma. So much about our sense of taste has to do with smell. (2) Slurp Your tea, in spite of your mother telling you to stop slurping! Slurping allows the full mouth to taste and feel the tea adding extra dimension to its taste and the experience of drinking it because it covers more of your taste buds.<br /><br />I learned both those practices at a coffee tasting event. Sharing them here because I think it will add to the tea drinking experience too. <br /><br />I liked both quotes here and surely see how drinking tea mindfully and any mindful practice quells the desire to consume. It helps tremendously to stay away from all advertising. It's profoundly manipulating. Thinking about it gets me worked up, back to drinking tea...<br /><br />Reading this made me want to go brew a cup of tea, think I will go do that right now!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735740353891550502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-18653436110874412922019-01-08T00:30:28.495-04:002019-01-08T00:30:28.495-04:00Make that a tea for two and I will join you.Make that a tea for two and I will join you.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-34260095457139191312019-01-04T13:36:04.825-04:002019-01-04T13:36:04.825-04:00What a lovely post, I think I will go make a cup o...What a lovely post, I think I will go make a cup of hot herb tea.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.com
