Simplicity
I was watching some youtube videos today and it seems there is a real over complication to the simple process of making a pot of tea.
So no tea makers, rock sugar, timers or thermometers. Water, kettle, tea, pot, mug and honey.

Was looking at all these expensive machines that are sold plus things like The Perfect Tea Maker. What is the need for this?
I have an electric kettle which I adore, and am perfectly happy with my ceramic teapot and the timer on my stove. That being said, I am also a big fan of doing what makes you happy. If happiness for you is a fancy teamaker, I say go for it. It your happiness comes from a gaiwan and water heated over a fire for which you chopped the wood yourself, that works, too. It is more about what tea (and life, really) means to you.
