Chose a small ‘three sip’ teacup this morning and was captivated by how the blue glaze revealed a spiral of pinches. The birds chattered, a train whistle moaned, planes crisscrossed overhead. I sipped my Puerh tea, grateful for how it opened my eyes.

A few snowflakes fell on my black coat as I sipped my tea this morning, echoing my beautiful black and white yunomi. A cardinal flitted between the spice viburnum branches, tilting her head this way and that so I could admire her bright red beak against her muted feathers.

New tea this morning, an oolong whose name means Iron Goddess and whose leaves expanded dramatically from little tight balls to fill my pot. As I began to sip my tea, savoring the warmth through my gloves hands on this cold morning, I spied three little sparrows perched in the serviceberry, their feathers all puffed out. Realized I am sitting wrapped in puffed out feathers too, just not my own...

Ground frozen under my feet, sun warm on my face. The grass seedheads glowed and even deep within the shadowed tangle of leaves I glimpsed bright patches of sunlight.

Even on this gray day the Puerh tea pulled in the light and glowed red as it steeped. False sunflowers are wearing little snow caps, so lovely against the black of the wet street.

Lovely to sit in the warm sunshine listening to the sparrows and house finches and sipping my tea. Am I imagining things or do the dogwood buds look a bit bigger to you too?

Hood up, gloves on against the cold. The sun illuminated the oolong tea as it unfurled in my glass pot, and highlighted the leaves’ beautiful red/green tinge when the tea was finished.

During my first bowl of tea the birds suddenly fell silent. I looked up to see a hawk hovering above us and then soar off. When it was about two blocks away, the chicka dee dee dee songs began again. #teameditation #morningritual #jacktroy#teabowl #puerh #tea

Rabbit tracks in the snow, grasses bent from the weight, sun trying to push through the heavy gray clouds. Sipped from my big bowl of Puerh tea and took it all in.

Bright sun lit up tiny icicles dripping from dogwood branches. As I sipped my tea I could hear sparrows and a chickadee and what sounded like two cardinals, but the only birds in sight are the mourning doves, all fluffed out, beaks tucked under breast feathers, perching on bare branches to warm in the sun.

So quiet, just the occasional chirp of a sparrow or wheels on the snowy road. Watched the snow fall and gather on branches and seedheads as I sipped my tea, and thought how lucky I am to have this lovely sheltered porch where I can sip tea and watch the snow.

Planes flying below the clouds, dogwood branches reflected in my tea. Thought about full and empty, how when my bowl is full I can see the world in it and when it is empty I am full of tea.

The bird party is a few houses away and I heard their chatter against the low drone of the distant highway, so much more present on these leafless winter days. Sipped my tea and noticed the varied patterns of bark in the garden.

Curved fingers of dogwood and straight pairs of Norwegian maple twigs against the gray sky. Full pot of Puerh tea in my largest yunomi, gray celadon outlined in white clouds. Listened to the sparrows chatter to each other and felt the cold air and hot tea wake me up. #teameditation#mistypeaks Balance #puerh #tea

Bright sun, cold air, wind in the chimes, steam billowing from my sweetheart’s cup as if it held a magic potion. Which in some ways it does - I always feel better after tea, don’t you?

Sat on the porch swing sipping tea from a cup with a thick white glaze, which echoed the snow that is quietly falling.

We sat together under the bare dogwood on this cold morning, looking at clouds in the very blue sky and drinking toasty kamairicha green tea. #teameditation #morningritual #tea
