    About this ebook

    “Pannunzio approaches the topic of tea drinking as a state of meditation . . . a great gift for any tea lover.” —Emily Slonina, author of Anywhere, Anytime, Any Body Yoga
     
    Tea-spiration aims to create a quiet movement where one can experience devotions, comfort, inspiration, and the simple joys of life. Tea drinkers know that tea, the wonderful drink, can help them slow down and savor life’s moments.
     
    In her debut book, Lu Ann Pannunzio uplifts and inspires readers in a way that does more than just telling them a story about tea and its history. As in life, tea is about the little things we need to experience (devotions, inspiration, reflection, comfort). Each page of Tea-spiration is filled with feelings and moments (big or small) that tea enhances; simple joys that not everyone may notice or take the time to savor. Sometimes all you really need is a cup, water, and some leaves to create your own wonderful cup of tea experience.
     
    So, take pleasure in this tea lover’s book, along with that special cup of tea, and stop and appreciate the simple joys of life!
     
    “Where will your next cup of tea take you? A trip down memory lane? Or, swept away to another region of the world? Allow yourself to experience tea as described within and you just may find Tea-spiration to live a more meaningful life thanks to this healthful, delicious beverage (tea) and our affini-tea for it.” —Gail Gastelu, publisher, The Tea House Times

      Tea-spiration - Lu Ann Pannunzio

      For my fellow tea lovers, especially my sister, Luciana, who gave me my very first cup of tea and ignited my passion for the beverage.

      Forget what you’ve been told about tea, all those dos and don’ts. Tea-spiration takes the practice of appreciating tea back to basics. Lu Ann offers practical tips on how to get the most out of a cup of tea, and shows us how any tea drinker is already a tea expert.

      - Bonnie Eng, Thirsty for Tea blog

      A thoughtful and refreshing look at how we should think of tea, prepare it, drink it, and allow it to change our lives. It is a helpful, down-to-earth guide for anyone who has never really stopped to think about the significance of tea, about the enjoyment to be had from every single cup, and about the benefits that tea can bring to everyday life.

      - Jane Pettigrew, Tea Historian and Tea Educator

      Reading Tea-spiration brought me the same feeling as sipping a fresh cup of tea, soothing and mind-opening. The non-judgmental notion Lu Ann poured into her writing is the true offering of tea that is often overlooked in our busy everyday life.

      - Li Gong, Ph.D., Founder of

      Encha Organic Matcha

      Where will your next cup of tea take you? A trip down memory lane? Or, swept away to another region of the world? When was the last time you truly experienced something through all five senses? The heart of this book is that of a tea lover. Allow yourself to experience tea as described within and you just may find Tea-spiration to live a more meaningful life thanks to this healthful, delicious beverage (tea) and our affini-tea for it.

      - Gail Gastelu, Owner/Publisher,

      The Tea House Times

      "In Tea-spiration it is evident that Lu Ann Pannunzio approaches the topic of tea drinking as a state of meditation; a mindful practice that encourages leaving behind hectic daily living.

      Without technical information on the makings of tea, it will make a great gift for any tea lover as well as inspire novice tea drinkers to sit down with a cup of tea. This book reminds me of the poem by Hamamoto Soshun: Chanoyu should be made with the heart, not with the hand. Make it without making it, in the stillness of your mind.

      As a practicing yogi I see the parallels in tea drinking and the yogic path. I look forward to having a copy of my own to support me as I refresh my mind and hydrate my body during contemplative moments in my daily living.

      Namaste"

      - Emily Slonina, author of Anywhere Anytime Any Body Yoga, using yoga in everyday life.

      "Lu Ann Pannunzio’s Tea-spiration is a beautifully written book that reminds us all to be present and mindful of every steeped moment. She lets us in on her tea rituals and memories, while encouraging us to have the freedom to take a step back and shape our own tea experiences. Her kind and knowledgeable tone
