Cultivate Your Own Reality — One Cup of Sencha at a Time

There’s a beautiful simplicity to drinking Sencha tea with handpicked strawberries—an experience that reminds us: you cultivate the reality you desire.

In Japanese culture, there are so many idioms that speak to this power of intention:

🌼 一期一会 (ichigo-ichie): Every moment is unique. Cherish it. 

🌼 朝茶は福が増す (asa-cha wa fuku ga masu): Begin your day with tea and blessings will multiply. 

🌼 自業自得 (jigō jitoku): You reap what you sow. 

🌼 我田引水 (gaden insui): Shape life by drawing water to your own field. 

🌼 花は桜木人は武士 (hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi): Be exceptional—like the cherry blossom among flowers.

🌼 見ぬが花 (minu ga hana): Sometimes, the imagination is more beautiful than reality. 

🌼 異体同心 (itai dōshin): Shared vision, even if paths differ. 

🌼 以心伝心 (ishin-denshin): Know without speaking. 

🌼 物の哀れ (mono no aware): Beauty in the fleeting. 

🌼 酔生夢死 (suisei mushi): Don’t just drift—live with intention. 

Right now, during my simple Sencha tea time, sweetness and clarity fill me. In this one sip, I’m reminded: peace is present, and reality is yours to cultivate.

Sip slowly. Be present. Feel peace. Stay grateful.
