RMC's annual Halloween chakai was all virtual this RMC's annual Halloween chakai was all virtual this year and it was a haunting good time! We had two ghost hosts, with a formal koicha and a more playful usucha seki. Hosts also prepared a recipe for our guests to make at home for koicha sweets "Fading Light" so everyone could have an extra feeling of togetherness for the season. We can't wait to host a full in person chaji again someday, planning and preparing during the spooky season is one of our favorite things. Now we set our sights to Robiraki! #rmwot #rockymountains #tea #wayoftea #chado #denver #colorado #fall #autumn #spooky #spookyseason #ghosts #haunting #haunted #茶道 #茶道具 #お茶 #表千家 #裏千家
