Tea Gathering in the Afan Woodland
(Shinanomachi, Kamiminochi, Nagano)
On July 17th, the birthday of C.W. Nicol who passed away in the spring of 2020, we served tea to the members of the Afan Woodland Trust who gathered for a memorial event. We decorated the space with items cherished by Nicol, adorned it with flowers picked from Afan's woods, slightly seared local sweet bean-filled pancakes on leaves, and served thin matcha tea in handmade bamboo tea bowls carved out of Tosa bamboo. A soothing cup of tea, served in the Afan way, in the healing forest!
