OBJECT “O” TEA SET

1. Chahe (small triangle-middle sphere-small triangle, base – square plate) – a sphere with two asymmetrically attached triangles, which symbolize chaotic output = dry tea + air element. After all, when we opened the tea from the airtight container, the first process – the release of the aroma – had already begun. Chahe is for the purpose of being constantly surrounded by the aroma of dry tea while drinking already brewed tea. We will make a chache with narrowed sides to the top (both on triangles and on the sphere) to seal the flow of aroma. Our chache prieno will be rolled in your hands, sniffing it from one side, then from the other side, because the aroma will be of different intensity (if you smell it)

2. Infuser (large sphere – wide rounded collar “which is convenient to hold with your fingers” – large triangle (spout), base – square plate) – the largest sphere in the set, in which to tea leaves (which are already in the process, they release aroma) boiling water is added and true multi-level chemistry begins. Tea turns into water, water turns into tea. The voluminous cover in the form of a sphere (with one polished edge so that it is convenient to put it on the chaban) and the high collar create a distance between the fingers and the sphere, where the key substance of the whole idea of this ceremony is prepared – hot tea. The created distance emphasizes the sanctity and intimacy of the brewing process. Any direct and gross interference is inappropriate, even direct contact with the flask where the potion is made can affect the delicate process.

3. Chahai (a large triangle + large triangles + a disc in the middle of the pyramid “which is convenient to grasp with your fingers”, the base is a square plate) is a cup of justice and we emphasize the word “justice” twice. Firstly, if you look at our chahai from above or in profile, you can easily find isosceles triangles, secondly: our chahai has two noses on both sides, because true justice sees not 180, but 360 degrees. The disc in the middle creates a distance between the tea master’s fingers and the chahai’s body. And here the reason is obvious: common tea is mixed in the chachai, which must be shared. Touching a common resource with bare hands is a dirty tone, so the disk serves as an even distance from the resource, equal respect for each participant in the ceremony is the best that the person conducting the ceremony can give. A tea master must become a tea master himself. The basis of this form is no longer the sphere, because nothing is mixed with each other, the already ready result is mixed. Ready-made tea is already coming into the chahai, which only remains to be brought to a fair homogeneity. And pour it into bowls – from any side.

4. Pials (small sphere + small square plate in the middle of the sphere, the base is a square plate) – a square of a square in a sphere, a ready, fair, dosed result. Finally!!!! You can tackle the sphere, but when you tackle it, you feel the corners – the corners of the second square, which used to be only one, but now there are two of them. Why? But it’s like that insight: when you succeed in something, the same profit, you get it in your hands already after deducting all costs, when everything is already ready, then at this point you begin to understand that at the very peak of flowering during the process, the dynamic begins in the other direction, everything that is done will be lost, everything that you can have will definitely be lost. That second rectangle is a curtsey to the chabani, because from the point of view of the tea, its path will end in the same way: either down to the chabani, or down to your stomach, down to the foundations.

The piala is spherical because it is again a process, perhaps not so turbulent and noticeable, but a process. Ready tea interacts with the world. It will either be drunk or evaporate sooner or later.
