Tea Beneath the Banyan Tree is a gentle, contemplative tale set beneath the wide canopy of a centuries-old tree. Written in the calming, poetic style of the Before Your Dream series, it offers a quiet escape for listeners who seek rest, stillness, and a soft place to unwind at the end of the day.

The story follows a solitary visitor who steps into a secluded clearing and prepares tea with slow, intentional movements. Steam rises through filtered afternoon light, shadows drift across moss and roots, and each motion becomes part of a silent ritual that naturally guides the mind toward ease.

As the tea cools and the moment deepens, the ceremony becomes a mirror for inner quiet. The whisper of wind through the banyan’s aerial roots, the soft hum of insects, and the shifting patterns of gold and shade create a soothing landscape shaped entirely by sensory detail rather than action.

With its unhurried pacing and reflective tone, the tale offers the feeling of gentle meditation without requiring anything from the listener except to settle in. As evening gathers and the clearing grows still, the narrative becomes a cradle of calm — ideal for bedtime listening or for anyone who welcomes a moment of slow, restorative peace.

Let the banyan’s shelter, the warmth of the cup, and the deepening light invite you into a place where thought loosens, breath softens, and rest arrives quietly, like the last cooling sip of tea.
