Making tea for others is then like celebrating Christmas with all your family (including relatives you don't see very often and who had to travel from far away). Such a celebration requires a lot of planning and preparation. One important aspect is how to create the Christmas mood. Candles, a decorated Christmas tree, Christmas music are some basic tools to help us enter in the proper mood.
The tea mat is the accessory that will help you convey a lot of feelings and emotions with your tea set. It is like the background color for the painting that you will compose with your teapot, tea cups... The soft texture brings a new depth and warmth to the ceramic objects. The next 2 pictures will show how much the tea mat influences the mood of the tea set.

Cher Stéphane,
joyeux Noel de Strasbourg! J´ai un peu moins de temps pour lire dans ton blog, ce qui est très regrettable - j´espère qu´en 2008, ce sera moins chargé côté travail.
Et j´ai à nouveau très envie de tester quelques jolis oolongs de Taiwan ..
A l´année prochaine, et d´abord: FROHE WEIHNACHTEN!
Biz,
Suzanne
