I feel it was ” a once-in-a-lifetime encounter” when my guests reacted to my presentation and said they had a good time when they left. That’s what makes it worthwhile, gives me a sense of accomplishment, and is the appeal of our home visit program. I hope I will make every effort to contribute to the development of the tea ceremony.
