The art of tea, something I learned in south east Asia, some 30 years ago, and has only intensified with time.
Tea, like wine is something you enjoy best with friends and family... Time seems to vanish when you drink tea, and yet, timing is the essence of making a good tea... Another passion of mine, that for this very reason, pairs nicely with beautiful time piec...
Beautiful culture indeed! And that Panerai is also quite beautiful and fitting.
I enjoyed reading your story and seeing the pics. I never thougt that tea and watches would fit. But it looks great. But then, I love Panerai watches that are pretty simple with bare dials.. Tea in various forms is an art all unto its own. While I didn't ...
Hi Ron, glad you took interest in my post, Panerai is new to me.
As an avid diver, I love my dive watches, and it took me time to get into Panerai, although I always found the brand interesting and unique in it's design. But I am glad I made the jump! I love it, it's so different. Your message made realise one more sim...
Thank you for sharing one of your hobbies with us!!!
Good tea and some small sweets allows for great conversation, camaraderie, and enjoyment!
Enjoy your Zen moment my friend, I see we share similare passion.
Tea is such a pleasant experience, what are you having? Mine was a dong fang mei ren or eastern beauty tea, as it was late afternoon already, and if I drink green or oolong late in the day, I don't sleep anymore...ahahah!
We do share similar passions (watches, tea, and God knows what else) indeed

I am not so crazy for pu-er, I have tried, and have some at home.
Some of my in-laws are crazy for them, you can keep them forever, and they are like currency, as far as I can understand. But the taste is just not really what I like. When I want to avoid caffeine I drink GABA tea, or western beauty... funny, I also have...
And I shall chalk this down as our third thing in common
Some zisha pots in my collection. Enjoy your tea! Best, Zach ...
I appreciate tea and drink it every day, but I learned about tea from a different direction
I began to be interested when I lived and worked in the UK in the 1990’s at various automotive jobs with Glass’s Guides, Haynes and Autodata. We had a “tea lady” at my office and I learned to take my tea with milk but never liked it that way. I preferred ...
Japan, most serious of all! Tea means serious business!
Japanese culture follows very strict rules, and tea ceremony is a matter of high importance... There is a town near where I leave, that is famous for hot springs, where there are still few old houses from the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. In one of those...
