Take a peek into Chinese tea culture and practices and through some of Grace Farms Tea Expert Frank Kwei’s own personal collection of teawares, learn to appreciate the art of presence and wabi sabi, the Japanese philosophy and aesthetics centered on finding beauty within impermanence and imperfection.
