~ GOOD TEA AND A SIMPLE CUP ~
Tsoknyi Rinpoche has often mentioned the vital relationship between his brand of “tea” and the cup in which it is served. Excellent tea without a container or cup serves no one. Improperly made tea in a fancy cup is not good for digestion. So please enjoy this excellent tea in our humble cup!
