12. Weaving Te Ao Māori (the Māori World) with the art & practice of tea (wai rākau)

Welcome back team, season 2 baby, here we go! Today's episode is with Whitney, chief tea maker at Kaputī Studio. She is a Mama of 2 and on the reo Māori and Rongoā Māori haerenga (journey). Whitney is a tea master and educates us on this holistic practice. This conversation will lift your spirits and inspire you to adopt a tea practice & ritual. Our busy lives call for a moment of stillness at least once a day (multiple if you can) and tea is such a wonderful way to encourage stillness of the mind and heart. We explore the health benefits of tea as well as the spiritual component, how to create your own tea ceremony and the importance of karakia (prayer) in daily life. We discuss Whitney's journey into learning te reo Māori and Rongoā and the interconnectedness of tea and Atua Māori. What we cover: Whitney's whakaaro (thoughts) on tea & how it supports her life History & origins of tea Medicinal benefits of drinking tea How to create your own tea ceremony How the Atua Māori are connected to tea Rongoā Māori Te Reo Māori journey - unlearning & relearning Karakia & the frequency it holds How to brew tea correctly Purchase Kaputī  blends here - https://kaputistudio.co.nz/hoko Socials: WHITNEY / KAPUTI  instagram |  @kaputistudio website | kaputistudio.co.nz AIO instagram | @aio.thepodcast tik tok |  @aio.thepodcast TARIKURA instagram | @tarikura_ DONATE: My loves, help keep this podcast alive by donating!
