I love brewing chai, but alas, I struggle to find time to do it properly. Drawing the water, gathering the wood….well, it’s just beyond me right now.

So for wabi sabi chai on the go (a TOTAL contradiction, I’m aware), I take a leisurely walk to the neighborhood coffee house. They make a good chai and during off peak hours, the outdoor patio allows for a moment of quiet reflection. Yes, I miss out on the opportunity for mindulness that the brewing process provides, but I can still find perspective as I hold the warm cup in my hand, feel the steam tickle up my chin and inhale the sweet spices…

Definitely take time for teaism, or the way of tea. But if your day does not allow it, find a good coffee house and enjoy the fruit of someone else’s mindfulness.
