Herbs and Tea

Yesterday we had our first herbal intensive class and Tea Ceremony #2. It went much better than Tea Ceremony #1! We were all suprised to find out that it was 1pm when we gathered to eat lunch.


Of course the food was awesome (yumyumyum), Bowen here was a big contributer to the Jai and keeps everyone from getting to serious.

This was one of the plants we learned. It smelled like oregano, but the leaves were about 5+ times bigger than ANY oregano plant I've ever seen! I don't think she ever told us the english name so I'll have to look it up..

Here's Shifu explaining how to this plant. Good times!
