Tea is not an object or thing, but a verb that covers all tea activity from cultivating, plucking, processing, packaging, transporting, provisioning, marketing, consuming, the sharing, the discussing, the judging, the accessing, a process that explores and celebrates relationships.

The tea process supposes a linear trajectory that begins in the tea fields, but it's not a straight line that we simply plot from A to B, B to C and so on. As a verb "to tea" or its gerund form "tea-ing," it's an activity that involves all kinds of people and how relationships intertwine.

"To tea" or "tea-ing" highlights the multiplicity of possible ways that tea is expressed through action. In other words, people do tea and participate in tea in whatever capacity, and through action, we see a powerful and meaningful dynamic that can be completely overlooked when tea is considered merely as an object.

When nouns become verbs, all things previously considered inanimate become alive and speaks, an action, a breath that continues to grow, change, interact.
