古吉祥7月份茶宴 【KJS Tea Ceremony in July】

错过五月茶宴的茶友们注意了，7月有惊喜哦。

五月的茶宴过后，很多朋友找到我们，表示很遗憾没有机会参加茶宴。

以茶会友传递快乐是古吉祥成立的初心，因此，我们在茶宴后多次去到台北再次邀请姚老师。也因为种种机缘巧合，姚老师终于定下再次莅临古晋的时间。

错过上次茶宴的茶友们，这次可要抓紧机会了。

茶宴时间定在7月29日（周六）。茶友们速速报名，名额有限先来先得。关于更多茶宴的信息， 我们会后续公布。有兴趣者可以联系我们。

If you missed KJS tea ceremony in May 2017, don’t be despair! We will have another tea ceremony in July!

Many tea lovers expressed to us that they felt disappointed for not being able to participate in the tea ceremony due to limited number of seats, and were asking about our next event.

As KJS hopes to promote simple happiness through tea & tea ceremony, we decided to pursue this simple happiness on behalf. We went to Taipei several times to invite Master Yao to visit Kuching again. After shuffling his busy schedule, Master Yao has finally accepted our invitation!

KJS will hold another tea ceremony on July 29 (Saturday). Please note that the seats are LIMITED and it is at FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE basis. Please grab your seat as quickly as possible! We will post more detail of the tea ceremony soon. If you are interested, please feel free to drop us a message!

We look forward to meeting you all :)

Let's tea it

茶的历史 【The History of Tea】

大家有听过神农尝百草，遇毒喝茶解毒的故事吗？

除了水，茶是今天我们最常喝的饮料。那么，茶饮源于哪里，以及为何茶那么受欢迎呢？大家一起来了解一下【茶的历史】吧。

Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, after water.

So, where did this beverage originate, and how did it become so popular? Let's find out together!

【探索幸福之巡礼】一期一会之茶宴 [An Exploration Tour of Contentement] "One-time-one-meeting" Tea Ceremony

茶宴的前几天，姚老师和古吉祥的团队们一起出发到当地集市去寻找【幸福之来源】。为的是将茶宴融入古晋当地的环境，并以【慈悲书斋】的茶结合当地的食材，以呈现完美的搭配。 其实生活上有很多东西我们都很容易忽略，我们试图在别处寻找幸福，但似乎忘记了它们就在我们身边。

茶宴当天，我们为宾客们精心的准备了3道茶点来搭配了我们的茶。在这优美的环境里，配上茶香花香，整个茶宴给大家的感官带来了快乐：视觉，味觉，嗅味，听觉。而最重要的是心灵的愉悦。原来品茶只要用心就可以品到简单的幸福；原来一杯好茶搭配对的茶点，用心感受，活在当下就是一种幸福。看到大家露出惊艳的表情似乎已經体会了茶品带来的幸福感。

借着手中这杯香气四溢的茶，浮躁的情绪得到了洗涤，心灵也彷彿翱翔在一方碧空中，清爽而明朗。一期一会，因緣而聚，故殊值珍惜。

A few days before the Tea Ceremony, Master Yao and KJS headed out to the local markets & supermarkets to find the “source of happiness”, in an attempt to integrate local ingredients & environment to the theme of our tea ceremony. Our attempt is simple – pairing CBH tea to what is available & presenting the Tea Ceremony in what we can obtain around us. In fact, there are many good things in life that we often take for granted. We try to find happiness elsewhere, but seem to forget that it is just around us.

In the Tea Ceremony, our guests were presented with tea dim sums prepared by us, which were from carefully selected ingredients, to compliment the chosen tea we served. In the beautiful decorated setting, the whole tea ceremony evoked pleasure from all senses of our guests: sight, taste, smells, auditory, and most importantly, their hearts. This is where our guests discovered that simple happiness could be felt as long as we choose to enjoy that special moment.

We hope that this is an unforgetable & unique experience for our guests. “One-time; One-meeting“ Tea Ceremony happened for a cause, and thus should be cherished.
