Lucie's Tea Journey

It is said that the process of making tea unites hearts, and this statement has definitely been verified for me. Despite the language barrier and cultural differences I felt the freedom to be myself with the Tanakas. Everyone contributed in their own way during my tea journey in Japan and for that I will be forever grateful.... Misato-san was a friend to me, she guided & encouraged me in my exploration of Japanese tea. Daiki-san inspired me with his innovative vision and was kind enough to answer in English the torrent of questions I asked him... Most of all, they made me feel like I was part of their family.
