August Tea Meeting

We had a lot of fun at our August tea meeting at Lee Young Hee museum. 


  It is always comforting and enjoyable to meet at Lee Young Hee museum, especially since we are surrounded by tradition and color of beautiful costumes of Madam Lee Young Hee.

 In Korea there is a tradition of using Ohmija berries to purify and to circulate the blood.  It helps to calm the mind, strengthen the brain function, relieve stress and ease asthmatic condition.  It could be made into tea using cold water or hot water.  With hot water, simmer the berries for about 2 minutes.  With cold water simmer the berries overnight.  You can drink it all day long and it will refresh you.

Tea friends are enjoying tea and chatting.


 We also tasted 50 years fermented Pureh tea.  It is full of good bacteria that aids digestion.  I bet everyone had wonderful bowl movements and found their bellies gone. 

I had served as a Korean School of NJ principal and now am a board member.  We will be hosting a 30th anniversary and fundraising gala on Thursday October 17th at Fort Lee Double Tree Hotel at 6:30pm.  If you wish to join me, please let me know.
