Founding Concept

A circle drawn by a compass, small or large, has an infinite number of points, lines, and tangents. Tea has a similar resonance: countless ways of drinking shaped by culture and traditions, tales and histories that were passed through each cup and sip, and demands and supplies that once beckoned the trade of horses, wool, silver, gold, and precious herbs across mountains, plains, desert, and ocean. Tea is deeply interwoven in our memory and the memories of the lands.

Each year, with each vintage of tea produced, we treasure it not only as a nourishment to the body and mind but also an embodiment of rainfall, humidity, temperature, terrain, and the painstaking care and craft of the farmers—the flavor of an ecosystem. Every search and presentation of these artisanal teas from China welcome a perpetual revisitation of this tradition, culture, and therein a reflection of ourselves. 

Within the vast world of tea is an embrace towards openness, and it takes one sip at a time.
