In May, we partnered with VCAI for a special edition of our Simply V Cooking Class—an immersive Tea Appreciation session. Participants explored the world of tea through the senses, learning about different types of tea leaves, traditional teapots, and the artful steps of brewing. Everyone had the chance to experience hands-on tea making, discovering the patience and mindfulness it requires.

The session concluded with a meaningful sharing titled “The Way of Tea and Life: Seeing the World in a Leaf, Understanding Life in a Sip.” Through this, we reflected on the deeper philosophy of tea—embracing impermanence, cultivating simplicity, and finding wisdom in every sip. It was a quiet yet powerful reminder that in a single cup, we can find both stillness and insight.
