A NEW TEA TRADITION
Instead of a quick slurp from a plain mug, drinking tea should
once again become a relaxing ritual, according to Femke Roefs.
In the great tea-drinking cultures of Japan and the Middle East,
the beverage does more than just quench the thirst; it fulfils an
important social role as well. With this in mind, Roefs has created
a mobile tea trolley out of bamboo, complete with a hand-crafted
copper kettle and accompanying heat source, plus room for cups,
saucers, sweets and all sorts of teas. In short, the trolley acts
as a luxurious centrepiece to reinstill the age-old drink with a
sense of occasion, transforming the mundane into a moment
worth savouring.
