Day 15 TeaCoupGlobal 2016 Series #3 Tibetan butter tea — po cha — is an acquired taste, since it is salty rather than sweet, and has a completely unexpected flavor. Many non-Tibetans don’t care for it much at first, but come to love it when it is associated with warmth on a cold day and good times spent with Tibetan friends, or the adventure of travel in Tibet or Tibetan communities in India or Nepal. Some non-Tibetans find it helpful to think of it as a sort of light soup rather than as tea. The main ingredients are - black tea , salt,butter, water and milk.( Yowangdu) #teacoup #tea #wanderingsilk#buddhist#tea#chai#ayurveda#photography#yogi#meditate#monk#strength#life#onelove#recipe#sacredlessons#teacoupglobal

Day 11 TeaCoupGlobal series 2 -:Kahwah is the traditional tea drink for Afghanistan and neighbouring regions. This tea is made by gently boiling green tea leaves with saffron strands, cinnamon bark, cardamom pods and occasionally rose petals are added for sweetness and aroma. Generally, it is served with honey and crushed nuts, usually almonds or walnuts. Some varieties are made as an herbal infusion only, without the green tea leaves. Traditionally, kahwah is prepared in a brass kettle known as a samovar. Kahwah is usually served to guests or as part of a celebration dinner, and saffron (kong) is added to the kahwah for special visitors. It is often served in tiny, shallow cups. #teacoup#teacoupglobal#tea#kahwah#spice#ayurvedicteaologist#makingitsacred#persian#afghanistan#ramadan#ayurvedic#

Day 9 TeaCoupGlobal - making every thought sacred- "Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.” ― Thomas Merton (pic CRT the dark room) #teacoup#teacoupglobal#makingitsacred#india#ayurvedicteaologist#chai#tea#love#respect#quote#truth#onelove#sipitlikeabosslady#photography#women#shakti#nonjudgemental#wisewomen#teabringspeace#
