Tea is more than just a beverage. It is an opportunity to savour the moment, calm the mind and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. A properly organised tea ceremony will not only help you relax, but also give you peace of mind and harmony. For those who want to create a tea ceremony at home, it is worth paying attention to the subtleties of serving tea and the art of this ancient ritual.
Rules for serving tea
The tea ceremony begins with the choice of tea and the teapot. Choose a quality tea that suits your mood: green for morning awakening, black for daytime relaxation or herbal for evening relaxation. The brewing process itself should be measured and calm. It is important to prepare the water at the right temperature: for green tea – about 80°C, for black tea – about 95°C.
It is best to brew tea in a glass teapot, as it allows you to watch the tea leaves slowly unfold, saturating the water with aroma and colour. Pay attention to the utensils in which the tea will be served: the cups should be small so that each sip can be felt and savoured.
The art of the tea ceremony
The essence of the tea ceremony is not only about the tea, but also about setting the mood. It is important to create the right atmosphere: soft light, pleasant music or the sounds of nature will help to set the mood for a meditative perception of the process. Don’t forget about a small snack: light snacks such as nuts, fruit or small cakes are ideal for tea.
The main rule of the tea ceremony is to savour the moment. It is important to take your time, savour each sip and immerse yourself in the experience. Tea is a way to give yourself a pause in the rhythm of everyday life, a moment for deep breathing and calm.
How to organise a tea ceremony at home
To surprise your family and friends, you can organise a small tea ceremony at home. Prepare beautiful cups, arrange a cosy space with soft cushions or plaids and choose a suitable tea. Classic varieties of tea are suitable for the ceremony: black or green tea, herbal teas or flavoured teas with fruity notes. Brew your tea in a beautiful glass teapot and serve it slowly, paying attention to each cup.
Gentle brewing with Berlinger Haus
An important part of the ceremony is the teapot. The Berlinger Haus square glass teapot from the Kaufbei TV shop is the perfect choice for creating a harmonious atmosphere. Made of borosilicate glass, this teapot is highly heat-resistant and durable, allowing it to be used even at high temperatures of up to 150°C. Its square shape and classic design with a touch of modern elegance will make this teapot not only functional, but also an aesthetically pleasing element of your tea ceremony.
The 18/10 stainless steel filter prevents tea leaves from falling into the cup, allowing you to enjoy a pure and flavourful beverage. The 950ml capacity is ideal for several people, so you can share the magic of tea with family or friends. Thanks to the transparency of the teapot, you can enjoy the brewing process, watching the tea take on a rich colour and aroma.
