Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I invite you into my studio in Vienna on a stormy September morning. While heavy rain and wind rolled through the city, I prepared my daily tea session: Chinese sheng pu’er, brewed in the mindful way of Gong Fu Cha.The first part of the episode is simply the storm itself — one of the heavy thunderstorms that swept through Austria on September 15th, 2024 and on my windows. Midway through,the recording I begin my tea session. You’ll hear the metal hotplate expanding with heat, the clay kettle coming to a boil, and the tiny teapot opening and pouring, again and again, through many steeps.Pu’er tea has become an important part of my life, a time away from the spinning world. I hope you can imagine the cozy room, the rising steam, and the rhythm of the rain outside as you join me in this session.TIMESTAMPS03:00 Thunderstorms25:00 Tea session startingEpisodes without Narration on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheListeningFieldPodcastMy Blog with Exploration on Pu'er Tea: https://tealog.net
