Tea Ceremony Healing: A Mindful Experience for All Five Senses

・Scent: the gentle fragrance of charcoal, steam, and matcha grounding you in the present.
・Sound: the quiet rhythm of boiling water sharpening your senses.
・Sight & Texture: the white steam, vibrant green of matcha, and subtle glow of the kettle inviting you into mindfulness.
