Over a virtual tea ceremony, the influential Japanese lifestyle guru talks about her life-long passion for a herbal brew.
“Tea gives me an opportunity to check in with myself,” Kondo tells me, through a translator, when we connected ahead of a group virtual tea ceremony last month.My first foray into Marie Kondo’s efficient way of living began when I bought an incredibly messy former roommate her breakout booka few years ago.
Tuning into Zoom on a Wednesday morning, I joined Marie, her translator, and the tea master who would lead our matcha ceremony the day after the release of. “I want readers to be able to visualize their ideal way of life from waking to going to bed without limitations,” Kondo told me and a group of other faceless participants .
After the ceremony, I put the black matcha bowl away in a cabinet and got rid of the floral tea cup that I knew I’d never use again.
As for her tea routine? When we connect one-on-one before the ceremony, Kondo tells me about her upbringing in Japan. “When I was growing up, my mom would always give me green tea to drink after breakfast. I suppose having that habit just made me feel like tea was a way of relaxing or a way or switching modes.” Even now, she still tries to have tea three times a day.
