Qing Ming (Honouring of Ancestors) Tea Ceremony

Qing Ming (also known as Ching Ming, or in English, Tomb-Sweeping Day) is a festival observed by many as an age-old tradition in Asia (in particular, East and Southeast Asian societies) that honours lineage and ancestral ties. The customs vary according to the familial clan, but in concert with the harvest seasons (pre-Qing Ming) for many Teas, this day feels like the perfect time to truly sit in noble silence with Tea and all the Spirits who have sat with Tea before us and the Beings who will sit with Tea after us. 

In this way, we are crystalline. Beyond matter, our connections are extended to all of the Universe. Tea is a plant medicine whose whispers of age and Her connection to Heaven and Earth that can truly draw us all closer together in this mandala created by a Tea Ceremony.
