World Tea Expo 2008: Korean Tea Ceremony
What a site to see…The women that put on the tea ceremony did a phenomenal job. The attention to detail and skillfully crafted movements during the tea preparation were almost hypnotic. It was so relaxing. For those of you that haven’t seen a Korean Tea Ceremony, I highly recommend it. I didn’t want it to end…Yoon Hee Kim, thank you for sharing your culture with us at the WTE!
From the World Tea Expo Guide: Korean Tea Ceremony, Yoon Hee Kim, Korean Tea Culture Foundation
sponsored by: TeaClassics & Hancha Tea
Premiered at the Atlanta 2007 Expo and returning by popular demand to this year’s World Tea Expo.., please join Korean Tea Culture Foundation’s director and tea master, Yoon Hee Kim, for another glimpse into the Way of Tea, Korean style. Korean Tea Culture has had a long and distinct history - deeply steeped in 2,000 years rich traditions, practices and philosophy. Attendees at this year’s demonstration will experience the beauty of Korean Tea Ceremony through both “SaengHwal Darye” - Everyday Tea Service and “SeonBie Darye” – also known as Scholar’s Tea. Time permitting, Q & A will follow the demonstration. Tea tasting provided by Hancha Tea.

Sorry to leave this in a comment, but I couldn’t find an email address on your blog
I just wanted to reach out to you as we just launched a new line of organic tea from Bangladesh. Also we have just uploaded a beautiful HD video that was filmed at the tea garden in Bangladesh. I would love for you to take a look at it and give us any feedback that you may have!

Hello Brianne:
The link to my email address is listed in the footer. Either way, I received your message. I watched the video, and I thought it gave an accurate description of the general tea culture. The fact that Tetulia is grown in an organic Bangladesh tea garden makes it unique. The quality of the video was very high. I’m always looking for more information regarding the farming and processing of tea, and the video did touch on those aspects of tea. The philosophies behind Tetulia are realistic, but sometimes easily forgotten - To health, to life, to tea. Perhaps a cup of Tetulia will remind all of us that life without tea would be a dull existence.
Thanks for writing,
