THE TEA CEREMONY
The Tea ceremony started in the 12th century, when the
Japanese monks came back with the precious tea leaves, after
a journey in the great monasteries in China
In the 16th century, Sen no Rikyu, great Master of Tea,
widened access to the tea ceremony. Sen no Rikyu celebrated
it in a small and rustic lodge with modest and discreet
tools.
In the spirit of Zen Buddhism, the tea ceremony puts the
emphasize on contemplation. The awe of nature and simple
things beauty is a way to get rid of the daily life
vulgarity. That way, a tea ceremony guest should contemplate
everything that surrounds him.
It is all about reaching the spirituality sphere. Harmony,
consideration, purity and peace of mind.
OUR VALUES
Four big principles
The tea ceremony’s four big principles, inspired by
the Zen Buddhism, can be found in the core values of
TENSAÏ TEA:
Harmony. The relationship harmony
between the host and the guest gives meaning to the tea
ceremony. TENSAÏ TEA should be a harmonious share where
each one gives as much as he receives.
Consideration. Each attendee to the tea
ceremony should treat people and objects that surrounds
him with the best respect. TENSAÏ TEA harvests its tea
leaves according to organic and sustainable
farming.
Purity.This principle reminds that you
need a pure heart, delivered from any pretention, to
enjoy the ceremony, and more generally, all his
surroundings.
Peace of mind. The peace of mind state
can only be reached once the three other principles are
achieved. TENSAÏ TEA allows to live intensely the tea
ceremony and to reach absolute peace of mind.
