Ceremony uh mostly to the disinterested
1:07
offspring of powerful Dao and wealthy
1:10
merchants I am no Dao's daughter I'm
1:14
just a simple traditor interested in the
1:16
ways of te oh yes I am told tea
1:20
ceremonies are a good place to meet
1:21
people of influence and perhaps their
1:27
Masters you are not from Sak

1:32
promise of prosperity no I am not I must
1:36

philosophies when it comes to te so you

2:42

2:50
begin I am ready H then come with me
3:22
this place is beautiful Master ah it was
3:26
designed around the four virtues respect
3:30
Tranquility Purity and
3:33
Harmony I approach my ceremonies the
3:36
same way before we begin can I ask what
3:44
want I'm told everything here is either
3:46
bargained or bought what do you want in
3:50
return dear child so many people demand
3:54
a price I try to bring a pinch of
3:58
balance into the world
4:00
what I give is freely
4:04
given now then let's begin with basic
4:09
etiquette Rank and title are put aside
4:13
guests enter as equals so host becomes a
4:18
servant First Impressions tell people
4:21
how to treat you how would you bow to me
4:37
too much treat the guests like Dio and
4:41
they'll make you their
4:43
servant the half bow puts us on equal
4:46
standing free from Pride or Prejudice we
4:50
can discuss art poetry
4:54
architecture I am not very skilled in
4:56
the art certainly not in poetry
5:01
nonsense it's simply comparing things to
5:04
express feeling or giving voice to
5:07
Nature like thunder tears the
5:13
sky I see like blood blossoming from a
5:19
wound yes but with s duck you not need
5:23
to compose a poem on theight Purity is
5:26
honored in thought and action
5:31
utensils the Turning of the ball the
5:35
Turning of the ball we drink from a
5:37
common ball each turns it slightly to
5:41
the right in this way the front the most
5:44
beautiful part of the ball faces the
5:47
host and other guests as a sign of
5:51
humidity of respect is there anything
5:56
know it is customary to give a gift at
6:00
the end of the ceremony I have something
6:03
to show you my Apprentice has SED three
6:06
items from my Personal
6:09
Collection you may choose one to give to
6:12
master SOI a Ying teapot with gold trim
6:17
representing the height of Chinese
6:20
craftsmanship a humble tea Reef jaw that
6:23
has passed through the hands of many
6:26
Masters finally this unassuming bamboo
6:31
radal fashioned by the unequal Craftsman
6:35
Shoku I can't accept any of these you're
6:41
nonsense simply return that generosity
6:44
to me or someone else and so we keep the
7:14
I will take the yeting teapot with the
7:16
gold trim mm an exellent choice I hope
7:21
