As a long time tea drinker I would agree that these two factors are rarely talked about but make a big difference in your experience. Don't leave your tea to go do another task while it brews, relax for a minute. Excellent post.

]]> Comment on Reverence or Respect: Which is Better? by Jen http://samovarlife.com/reverence-or-respect-which-is-better/comment-page-1/#comment-2818 Jen Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:12:20 +0000 http://samovarlife.com/?p=9975#comment-2818 I ran into some issues with respect a few years ago and found some interesting things. Respect in my search was found to esteem, it's a sense of worth and is a right or privilege. It can be an obligation required because of someone's position in our life. It is basically an acknowledgement. This is where reverence comes in; it is the acknowledgment of that respect, the feeling or attitude that comes from deep respect, it is an outward manifestation of respect, a gesture or revering! So I found they really go hand in hand. Thank you for your interesting thoughts and for reminding me what I've learned.

Love Samovar and frequent the Yerba Buena location at least once a week (or more) as well as buy the teas online. PLEASE consider opening a Samovar in Marin! I can't tell you how many of us up here in the Mill Valley/Sausalito area would die for a Marin Samovar! :) Best, Paul Brilliant…keep doing what you do, Jesse.

As a person of African descent who is a huge tea lover I wonder how I can work with entities such as Samovar to introduce tea to those 45 million of us and expand the pleasures and the market of fine teas? I'd love any ideas! Enjoyed the video.
