Workshop dan Pameran Desain Hias Poci Teh Indonesia

Budaya merupakan hasil cipta, rasa dan karsa manusia yang meliputi seluruh aspek-aspek kehidupan manusia. Salah satu budaya yang sangat dengan kita adalah budaya minum teh. Bagi masyarakat Indonesia, minum teh merupakan suatu kebiasaan yang sudah ada semenjak zaman dahulu kala. Indonesia sendiri merupakan salah satu negara penghasil teh. Seperti kita ketahui bahwa Indonesia sudah menjadi negeri penghasil teh sejak zaman penjajahan.

Kebun-kebun teh di Indonesia sangatlah banyak, tersebar di beberapa pulau, seperti pulau Jawa dan Sumatera. Luas tanah yang dijadikan kebun teh di Indonesia berjumlah 120.000 hektare dengan total produksi sekitar 150 ribu ton per tahun. Sekitar separuhnya, yaitu 75 ribu ton menjadi komoditi ekspor ke luar negeri.

Dalam budaya minum teh, ada piranti yang menemani, seperti misalnya poci teh, yang terbuat dari tanah liat. Kebiasaan minum teh menggunakan poci teh ini berasal dari daerah Tegal. Teh diseduh di dalam poci dan ditambah dengan gula batu, kemudian diminum panas-panas. Poci teh ini sendiri sangat terkenal di daerah Tegal, Slawi, dan Brebes.

I already said too much. I already shared too much, and I want all my secrets back. I hate getting close to people these days, I always regret sharing too much, caring too much, doing too much, feeling too much.

Did you know, you can quit your job, you can leave university? You aren’t legally required to have a degree, it’s a social pressure and expectation, not the law, and no one is holding a gun to your head. You can sell your house, you can give up your apartment, you can even sell your vehicle, and your things that are mostly unnecessary. You can see the world on a minimum wage salary, despite the persisting myth, you do not need a high paying job. You can leave your friends (if they’re true friends they’ll forgive you, and you’ll still be friends) and make new ones on the road. You can leave your family. You can depart from your hometown, your country, your culture, and everything you know. You can sacrifice. You can give up your $5.00 a cup morning coffee, you can give up air conditioning, frequent consumption of new products. You can give up eating out at restaurants and prepare affordable meals at home, and eat the leftovers too, instead of throwing them away. You can give up cable TV, Internet even. This list is endless. You can sacrifice climbing up in the hierarchy of careers. You can buck tradition and others’ expectations of you. You can triumph over your fears, by conquering your mind. You can take risks. And most of all, you can travel. You just don’t want it enough. You want a degree or a well-paying job or to stay in your comfort zone more. This is fine, if it’s what your heart desires most, but please don’t envy me and tell me you can’t travel. You’re not in a famine, in a desert, in a third world country, with five malnourished children to feed. You probably live in a first world country. You have a roof over your head, and food on your plate. You probably own luxuries like a cellphone and a computer. You can afford the $3.00 a night guest houses of India, the $0.10 fresh baked breakfasts of Morocco, because if you can afford to live in a first world country, you can certainly afford to travel in third world countries, you can probably even afford to travel in a first world country. So please say to me, “I want to travel, but other things are more important to me and I’m putting them first”, not, “I’m dying to travel, but I can’t”, because I have yet to have someone say they can’t, who truly can’t. You can, however, only live once, and for me, the enrichment of the soul that comes from seeing the world is worth more than a degree that could bring me in a bigger paycheck, or material wealth, or pleasing society. Of course, you must choose for yourself, follow your heart’s truest desires, but know that you can travel, you’re only making excuses for why you can’t. And if it makes any difference, I have never met anyone who has quit their job, left school, given up their life at home, to see the world, and regretted it. None. Only people who have grown old and regretted never traveling, who have regretted focusing too much on money and superficial success, who have realized too late that there is so much more to living than this.
