Mindful Tea

Make the tea slowly, noticing the sound of the water and the colour of the leaves.

Hold the cup in both hands. Notice its warmth, its weight and the steam rising.

Bring it close and breathe in the aroma.

Take a small sip and hold it in your mouth. Notice the temperature and every flavour before swallowing.

Finish the cup sip by sip, putting it down between sips. When your mind wanders, come back to the taste.

Sit for a moment with the empty cup and notice how you feel.
