I learned about making tea from my parents. These days, my parents seem to be drinking regular cups of tea, especially green tea. According to my parents, the steps in making and drinking tea is…First, boiling hot water. Second, pouring boiling water into a bowl and washing it out. Third, putting in tea-leaves and pouring boiling water into the bowl again. Lastly, waiting for about 2 minutes and drinking the tea slowly and carefully.

Making a cup of tea is a very complicated process and takes a lot of time, but it seems to me that tea is just like water, but only it has a slight scent to it. If you simply want to drink a cup of tea, it would be easier to drink instant tea rather than to brew a cup yourself. But, my parents said tea must include the ‘spirit.’
