Ichi-go Ichi-e the traveling tea shop

• Ideally something like Springtime — Bloon
• Ideally something like a VW Vanagon
• Maybe panniers or a locking trailer with:
  • Mountain Summit Gear Feather-Lite Table $49.95

  • Jetboil
  • 2 gallons of water

The tea lounge

I would love to "retire" from Software Engineering at a certain point and open a Tea shop with a focus on growing the craft.

• I want to teach people to brew better and introduce them to fine tea.
• I want a place where people can be at 10pm and not be expected to drink alcohol or buy food.
• I want to sit in a park like Baisao and bring beauty in to peoples' lives.

It will take me a while to get here, please be patient.
