Tea as Domestic Art


This is one of the most beautiful photos I've seen all year. I've not really thought of tea (making, serving, brewing, drinking) as domestic art before today. Perhaps I should rethink my definitions. Thanks to the NY Times for the photo. And then, we need tea poems.
A Kashmiri woman carried a traditional teapot to family members who were planting the rice crop in Chak-e-Kawoosa, 16 miles west of Srinagar. India expects its rice harvest to increase by 2.4 million tons and wheat output to increase by over 1.2 million tons next year, a top farm ministry official said this week.
