Wu De, I'm so happy to see the start of this new video series. Your videos are how I first discovered the Global Tea Hut years ago. Really looking forward to the next one. I love the new shelf on the back wall of the tea room! It's a very pleasing backdrop.

This is what I used to call, "being a tea-ist." This is calming and delightful! Thank you.

I just got myself my first real tea bowl and decided to watch this video after brewing in it for the first time, and I was so surprised at how much I learned from you! Though a lot of holding a bowl seems like it will just be intuitive, when I switched my hands to match your form I really felt the bowl become more stable in my hands, my back straightened, and I was able to actually appreciate the thick foot of my bowl like you said instead of burning my hands on the sides! Thank you so much, even after just changing a few details about how I'm drinking my tea I feel so much more present, and hopefully I can be a better guest at a tea ceremony someday

Thank you for this great video. I'm just starting out, so appreciated the reminder that the experience is more important than having any particular equipment. Love the concept of homework too!

I love that shirt you are wearing! Where can I get one? (I'm asking seriously)

Lots of local, ethically produced and sustainable clothes in Taiwan. Come for a visit!

Very helpful - thank you. Does anybody know a source for good tea bowls in the U.S.?

Do you have any recommendations for where to buy living teas in the UK? I'm struggling to find some here.
