So yesterday we were lucky enough to visit Busan Girls' University to learn about and practice 다례, a traditional Korean tea ceremony that has been around for thousands of years. It seemed bizzare sitting on the floor with no shoes on and only being allowed to touch the utensils with certain hands as well as remembering their positioning on the tray. It was definitely interesting, but I'm not going to lie, it was a lot of effort for two of three sips of green tea from a miniature cup and saucer, which I wasn't even that fussed for by the time we got to the drinking part! Twinings in a mug it wasn't, but at least I've finally managed to buy myself some English Breakfast tea and chocolate digestives and show my Korean buddy our own British tea ceremony. The biscuit dunk and sip. Heathens the lot of us!
