Spilled Tea & Soft Smiles — Lessons in a Matcha Mishap 🍵

In a recent tea moment, I did the unthinkable… spilled my matcha all over the floor.

But instead of letting it ruin my afternoon, I chose to smile and remember the Japanese proverb:

笑う門には福来たる — “Good fortune comes to a smiling face.”

Tea time, like life, isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. Mistakes? They’re part of the ritual.

Let this post be a reminder to meet your messes with a little humor, humility, a warm towel, and a cup of tea.
