On this week’s episode of Looking Up, Steve Schwartz, master tea blender and founder of the Los Angeles based brand, Art of Tea, shares his passion for tea and the ritual behind it. What started out as Steve studying Ayurveda so that he could help heal his mother, turned into him blending teas together in his living room for the likes of the Peninsula Hotel and acclaimed chef, Wolfgang Puck. This episode is all about about healing, resiliency, passion, rituals, mindfulness, and of course, the history of tea and its intertwined relationship to mood and mindfulness. Take a listen and contemplate what you choose to ritualize… hopefully over a warm cup of tea.
