Strangely enough, one of the only things I'm bringing back from the Fire Nation today is lots and lots of tea-- jasmine and ginseng mostly, but also White Dragon and lychee, which no other worlds but ours seem to have. The tea on the world I'm staying on now is quite strange. It comes in either packets or little bags. It's not bad, but it can't

I agree.

[peoplesprincess]

Is fresh tea more common in Japan?

[heavenly_home]

Yes, it is. We have a ceremony devoted to making it, even.

[peoplesprincess]

Is that related to some sort of holiday, or do you just perform the ceremony every time you make tea?

[heavenly_home]

It is a discipline. Simply a part of our culture.

There is a certain etticate to making tea, but one does not need use the tea ceremonies.

[peoplesprincess]

I see.

[heavenly_home]

It's quite a beautiful thing to watch. I do not know it, however.

[peoplesprincess]

Then it's complicated?

[heavenly_home]

Very.

[peoplesprincess]

Interesting.

[heavenly_home]

Oh?

[peoplesprincess]

"Oh" what?

[heavenly_home]

Would you like to see it? The tea ceremony.

[peoplesprincess]

I thought you said you didn't know how to do it.

[heavenly_home]

That is correct. But there are those that do that I know. If it ever strikes your fancy, I could arrange something.

[peoplesprincess]

... Hm. Perhaps I'll consider it.
