Cozy Up for Tea
Listen to the steam as it rises . . .
and relax . . .
Herein lies the value of a cozied teapot.
Let your eyes close; when they open let them rest on the cozy itself. Notice the beautiful fabric and consider where it came from. Notice the stitches and consider the hands that made them regular and perfect. Notice the shape and consider how it resembles a sitting monk whose mind has settled into peaceful stillness. Notice your own mind; notice your breath; notice your cup of tea and how the steam rises and disappears into emptiness. Consider what is more important than a quiet moment with a warm cup of tea in the midst of it all.
Schedule your own silent tea time in the privacy of
CUwHH Meditation Room.
Reserve 40' of tranquility with your choice of organic hot tea and cake. This is a silent activity.
Tea for 1 - $10 |

Tea for 2 - $16 |

Tea for 3 - $21 |
