On this class we begin our exploration of fire as an element in the alchemy of Tea. After water, fire is the most important part of serving tea. Without heat, the essence of the leaves won't release, and the medicine won't spread throughout the body. Heat is the movement of a tea ceremony. And as we'll soon see, there is much more to heat for tea than just temperature in degrees. In this class we will discuss and explore different heat sources and compare each one.
