More than tea, more than a meeting

5.00This is the second time I have used the services of Meaningful Travels Greenland—there is nothing better than putting yourself in the hands of someone who not only loves their job but puts their heart and soul into making you love the place and want to come back again. Nuuk Greenlandic Tea Tasting is a bit like meeting up with old friends from high school, with whom you have 20 years' worth of stories to share, and even though you haven't been together all this time, you realize that the bond between you is still as strong as ever. The strong tea with Arctic herbs in a warm cup is just an excuse to be silent for a moment, because in the silence, in this little pause, you can best hear the other person's heartbeat. After each sip, a new story, then another... Don't try all the sweets on the table—don't be greedy like me. Leave some room for the cookies and fresh bread with butter—you'll regret it if you don't try them. Our guide, Sikki, a unique guy in spirit and nature, whom I can only describe as a brilliant storyteller with a subtle, beautiful sense of humor, high morals, and a brave heart, showed us on a short but very necessary walk around the café the most iconic places to observe the harbor; several of the new buildings in the area, the treatment plant, and the lake that supplies the city with water, and when we returned to the café... Wow, I'm afraid to tell you, because it may not be part of the program, but this talented Greenlandic man turned out to have another talent - besides being a fascinating storyteller, he can also play the guitar. One of the songs was by my favorite Frank Sinatra (I had the audacity to share how much I like him before I knew that my unintentional comment would turn into a beautiful rendition of “Fly Me to the Moon“). Even if you are not tea lovers, it is worth meeting local people who will show you a different perspective on life - more connected to nature and to things that money cannot buy. In Nuuk, time flows differently. See for yourself.
