(Full) Global meets Local Tea encounters, Suvanne - living tea

Sunday, September 16 at 2 PM – 4 PM

Back to earth tea meditation from 2 pm to 4 pm with Suvanne -living tea. We look forward to sharing peaceful vibes of self-discovery and connection in our tea ceremony in Udumbara ceramic studio.We will sit together and silently enjoy healing tea, sustainably grown in the wild, in small family gardens and plantations free from agrochemicals, in China, Laos or Taiwan.

Since centuries TCM has made use of this tea as a thermoregulator, giving relief from stress and other imbalances. The ceremonial aspect aims to refocus participants’ attention on the present moment, on all the senses and the personal psychophysical state, and this may serve as an introduction to meditation.

We let our thoughts and worries to flow away bowl after bowl…we come back to earth, back to ourselves, re-connect with others and nature.

The Finnish wild clay of Udumbara bowls will accommodate our journey.

Suggestions: We will sit and relax for the duration of the ceremony, so I suggest you wear comfortable clothes.

Price: €20 full price, €15 students and unemployed. (please bring cash).

How to use Udumbara wildclay tea bowls.

UDUMBARA’s pieces are made from wild clay from the small village of Kultela in Somero, southwestern Finland. So, when you get UDUMBARA, you don't just get handmade pottery, you get a piece of Finland too. 

This natural material gives the products a wonderfully rich earthy character and thanks to the porous nature and rich iron and other mineral content of the clay, tea brewed in a wild clay bowl develops a richer flavor.

Udumbara wild clay bowls are made for use. You have to play with them and caress and rub them with your hands often. Wild clay, gains its shine from your touching and rubbing. A well "loved" wild clay bowl has a better glow than a less "loved" bowl.

The light milky color, glazes will eventually develop fine crackles. As time passes, with use tea seeps in the crackles gives a patina that is prized and brings pleasure to tea connoisseurs. 

Never use soap or detergent on Udumbara wild clay bowls. Use it only for tea, it will absorb tea, as well as non-tea stuff.  Don't put your bowl near any funny smell, especially when they are wet. Use it only for tea.

After use, extract all tea leaves from your Udumbara bowl. Rinse it with hot water to wash away all tea inside. Wipe it with soft fabric to get rid of all water. Then leave the bowl in an airy place to dry.

UDUMBRA(ウドゥンバラ)の製品はフィンランドの南西に有る小さな村、クルテラで採取された天然粘土(ワイルドクレー)で作られています。この天然の材料の恩恵によって豊かで自然な土の味わい有る仕上がりになっています。その土地固有なありのままの加工されていない材質を厳選するUDUMBRAはワイルドクレーのユニークでエコロジカルな価値に重点を置いています。

多孔質で鉄分やミネラルが豊富に含まれているクルテラの天然粘土のおかげで入ったお茶はより豊かな風味となります。

又通気性の優れたワイルドクレーの鉢は植物の生理的なニーズに適した理想的な作りとなっています。土に含まれている塩のミネラル成分が吸収や風化を繰り返し、年を重ねるほど味わい深く趣きのある美しい鉢へと仕上がっていくことも、この製品の魅力の一つです。

UDUMBRAはハンドメードなだけではなく、それを手にした時、そこには一欠片のフィンランドが入っている自然陶器です。

UDUMBARA pottery (est. 1994) products are made from wild, natural clay from the small village of Kultela in Somero, Southwestern Finland. 

The material gives the products a wonderfully rich earthy character. By choosing this local raw material, Eva wants to emphasize the unique and ecological value of wild clay.

Thanks to the Kultela clay's porous nature, its rich iron, and other mineral content, tea brewed in wild clay ware develops a richer flavor.

Wild clay planters are ideally suited for a plant's physiological needs. Part of their beauty is their tendency to beautify with age as they weather and absorb mineral salts from the soil.

When you have an Udumbara bowl, you don't just get handmade pottery, you get a piece of Finland too.
