that has made all the difference

Over a year ago, I switched to tea as my primary hot beverage, after many years of worshipping at the coffee altar. I still love my coffee, it just doesn't love me back. To my delight, this switch has opened up a rich world of culture and sensory experiences. The tiny travel set above is one of those joys. It has a lovely celadon glaze that enhances the appearance of the gyokuro, a fine Japanese tea.
