High Tea In White Rock

Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space? - Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki

Clancy's Tea Cosy, White Rock, BC

A visit to Clancey’s Tea Cosy in White Rock, BC, made it clear to me that some beverages transcend boundaries. The British have a deep love of tea that seeped into North American culture. The Japanese ceremonial aspects took serving and drinking of tea to a level beyond relaxation as expressed in the quote above by scholar and professor of Buddhism, Daisetsu T. Suzuki (1870 - 1966).

Gateway To A Good Life In Canada

APPRECIATING diversity, respecting the environment, providing health care for all are just some of what most hold dear and imagine will be improved upon in Canada celebrating self-governance from Great Britain since July 1, 1867.
