What to expect while doing this
Growing flowers, making tea with them, and delivering them to others is more than just production or processing, it is a process of regaining the rhythm of life and cherishing the heart.
The time spent growing edible flowers and making flower tea is also a great comfort to me. I am keenly realizing through my farming life how great a blessing it is to live each day looking at the small changes in flowers and nature.
Above all, when people who have drunk flower tea say, “Drinking this tea warms my heart,” that warmth becomes my reward.
Interview
Q. What are some of your most memorable places and experiences in nature in Korea?
The time when I pick flowers at dawn is the most impressive.
Before the sun rises, the flowers covered in the quiet morning dew seem to have an indescribable energy. The moment I pick the first petals in the dawn air is like a silent greeting ceremony between me and nature. The act of welcoming a small life with my fingertips is a precious memory to me.
Q. What does nature mean to you?
Nature is a teaching. When I get greedy while working on the farm and flower tea, nature always teaches me harsh lessons.
I think that there is no being that teaches “waiting,” “natural order,” and “harmony” as well as nature.
Sometimes I feel helpless in front of the weather, and sometimes I am moved by unexpected flowering, and I learn about life and am healed by nature.
Q. What do you want people to take away from the experience and healing you provide?
Flowers silently convey their feelings to us in the natural time of blooming and falling.
At Onyouwant, we want to convey emotional stability and healing of the senses as a sensory medium that goes beyond a simple beverage and soothes people's hearts with flower tea that contains the emotions of the season.
When someone needs a break from their busy daily life, or when someone wants to have a warm conversation with their family, we hope that you will experience the leisure of 'a moment of pause' while enjoying flower tea.
In addition, through Onyouwant's program, we hope that you will have a healing time connecting with nature in the process of touching flowers, smelling the scent of herbs, and drinking tea.
Healing is not something grand. The moment when you feel flowers with your fingertips and feel warmth spread throughout your body. And sharing with loved ones is healing.
