Tea of the month
March – Organic Green Tea Jeoncha South Korea
A short break for body and soul.
The excesses of the carnival season are over; many people are remembering to take care of themselves and are observing Lent. Whether it is practised for religious or for other reasons, fasting has many faces, and everyone can practise it in a way that meets their respective needs and motivation. Many people abstain from drinking alcohol and eating sweets. Some people eat less overall, or even fast radically to improve their well-being, lose a bit of weight or overcome their bad habits and energy level. However, digital fasting is also becoming increasingly popular. People consciously avoid the media in order to spend more time outdoors instead, or to return to their often neglected hobbies.
For many, Lent is also a time for general contemplation and reflection. Meditation and small rituals are a super way to return to more mindfulness and to slow down a little. The perfect companion for this? Green tea! Our special recommendation: Organic Green Tea Jeoncha South Korea. A genuinely exceptional tea with a fruity taste and a subtle, sweet finish reminiscent of roasted hazelnuts.
However, green tea in general is very popular during the fasting season; on the one hand, because it can make fasting easier and keeps you hydrated if you follow a strict fasting regime, and on the other, because it is the perfect way to start the day and can also give you an energy boost at any time. Preparing it is already a ritual, as you have to take time to make it, and have to take care to use the right amount and ensure that it doesn't steep longer than a maximum of three minutes; also, the water must not be hotter than 80°C.
Once brewed, a fresh, reviving fragrance rises from the cup. You are automatically extremely conscious of your actions; it appeals to all of your senses, and you are suddenly completely immersed in the moment of enjoyment. A wonderful short break for body and soul! After all, that is what fasting is all about.
