Thank you for checking it out Frankie
I was on hiatus from a number of passions for a time due to life’s circumstances. Pleased to say that I’ll also be back in the tea room soon
Would love to chat with you about the art anytime you’d like.

And Daitetsu ..

You might laugh, but I have thought about inventing my own coffee/espresso/cappuccino ceremonies - just for kicks. You see, I drink this stuff at least 3 - 4 times a day, so this kind of begs for a practice...
There are no new sutras, so why not invent new ceremonies?

Here in Italy we take our coffee very seriously and I think this is a fabulous idea, I still use the time honoured method of making espresso, I'm thinking of renaming it The Way of the Moka But seriously, it is almost a rite in itself, everyone has their preferred methods and preferences.

I loved watching this, thank you so much Hoyu. I hope you still practice the tea ceremony, I started taking an interest in it in a general way a couple of years ago (pre Treeleaf) and would always be interested in learning more.

Thank you Kokuu.
As I said in the video
“I believe Treeleaf is an art.”
As true then as it is now so it’s great to be back around with such a wonderful sangha!

Hi Jundo,



Hehe, I am a coffee junkie myself - it's great enjoying both brews.

You might laugh, but I have thought about inventing my own coffee/espresso/cappuccino ceremonies - just for kicks. You see, I drink this stuff at least 3 - 4 times a day, so this kind of begs for a practice...

It seems that Latte Art could possibly be a way to bring a certain amount of ritual into the caffeinated beverage consumption. An espresso machine etc. might be out of the price range for many, but when making coffee... just make coffee?

Gassho,
Jason

Thanks Timo and all for reviving this rerun; enjoyed the second viewing as much as the first.
As for coffee rituals, I'll pass; more than one cup a day and my kidneys give up

I am more a "coffee ceremony" fellow myself.

Perhaps, like the many flavors of Chinese Chan or Japanese Zen or Buddhism in general ... sometimes very different yet precisely the same, always just the same but often quite different.

Gassho, J

I second that brew.

This was my first Japanese Tea Ceremony. The differences to the Chinese Tea Ceremony (I am still a beginner with only half a year of experience) are huge!

Deep bows,

Timo
