Tea served on a bistro terrace table

Ritual two

Tea

Leaves, water, patience — the quietest conversation there is.

About the ritual

Leaf culture moves slowly on purpose. Oolong rolled by hand, puer that improves while you sleep, herbal pots brewed for a whole table on a warm evening.

Where to begin

Buy a small gaiwan and one good oolong. Short steeps, many of them, and pay attention to the third.
