East meets West as Cloudwalker Specialty Teas enlightens residents through workshops on the Chinese art of tea

Ottawa, ON - Cloudwalker Speciality Teas, a new Ottawa business, is bringing fine Chinese teas, and cha dao, or, the way of tea, into the homes and offices of Ottawa residents by request through knowledge and meditation workshops.

Long cherished in the Far East, the health and meditation benefits of fine Chinese teas are becoming increasingly acknowledged in Canada. In 2007, tea was approved by Health Canada as an excellent source of anti-oxidants for the maintenance of good health, as beneficial for cardiovascular health and an excellent way to increase mental alertness. Chinese studies further suggest tea is a cancer reducing agent, increases longevity and assists in weight-loss.

Cloudwalker’s workshops focus on two principles: Cha dao, the path of tea to enlightenment, and Gong fu Cha ,the stress-reducing and calming Taiwanese art of pouring tea. Cha dao works on the belief that tea is a sentient substance. When cared for through hand-picking, packaging, processing and proper storage, the tea’s inherent chi (living energy) is increased. Most people have unknowingly experienced the dao of tea in one form or another; Cloudwalker merely attempts to enhance this awareness. Gong fu cha is a ritual to make this awareness more prominent and better convey living energy to the person consuming the tea, resulting in numerous mental and physical health benefits.

Cloudwalkter’s workshops are intended for those interested in exploring the health and energy benefits of tea. These workshops seek to introduce tea-based techniques to increase well-being at home and in the workplace. Both mind and body benefit from tea and meditation, and outcomes range from increased relaxation and stress-reduction, to focus and clarity, and therefore increased productivity. Teas renowned for their Chi are also available for sale online at http://www.cloudwalkerteas.com.

Mark Chapeskie, the sole proprietor of Cloudwalker Specialty Teas, studied Chinese white, green, oolong, pu erh and cliff teas and the art of Gong fu cha from a resident Chinese tea master while living in Taiwan. He is pleased to share this unique knowledge, and tea’s numerous benefits to Ottawa and area residents, and is available for bookings.
