Our gatherings are rooted in the ever-evolving Chinese tea culture.
We explore how contemporary Chinese people enjoy tea in daily life, discover its beauty, and reflect on the philosophies and mindsets behind it.
I also call it an honest tea-sensing experience. Around tea, countless stories have been told or imagined. The story I’d like to share is the one already present — in the tea itself, and in our bodies.
In our stories, we search for “herbal remedies from the mountains and delightful moments at a writing desk”.
We serve top-quality teas that carry a comforting Qi: no jitters but calm, no bitterness but transformation.
For me, it’s like opening a window for European friends to glimpse Chinese tea culture - a taste and a reference point for what tea means back home. In each gathering, we follow the changes of the tea, let our imagination wander, and enjoy the journies it takes us on.
Not a ceremony, not a tradition
beyond tasting, beyond organic
To give you an idea, below are the teas we'll be serving in Brussels (11/10 ) and Amterdam ( 19/10 )
Depending on the number of participants and the time we have,
we will taste 3 to 4 different teas，experiencing
the terroir of the mountains,
the character of heirloom varietals,
the artistry of suitable processing methods,
and immersing ourselves in an Eastern aesthetic.
Yellow Tea - Wild Laochuan tea from the Hengduan Mountains, Sichuan
heirloom varietal, Spring 2025. First flush, first pluck; grown by nature, with abundant tea energy (chaqi).
Oolong Tea - Dongfang Meiren (Oriental Beauty) from Fujian, bitten by small green leafhoppers, 2024. From an ecological tea garden, with intertwining honey, floral, and fruity aromas.
Dark Tea (Hei Cha) - Heirloom varietal tea trees, semi-wild in deep mountains, Spring 2016. Fresh woody and floral notes, pure dark tea with a cooling sensation, and a pronounced Hui Gan ( Returning Sweetness )
Black Tea (Hong Cha) - Zhengshan Xiaozhong (Lapsang Souchong) from Tongmu, Wuyi Mountains – heirloom varietal, Spring 2023.
Withered and smoked over native pinewood inside village houses, then roasted. Pine smoke fragrance with longan-sweet liquor and floral undertones.
If you'd like, you can also try brewing the tea in Gong Fu styl yourself.
"The only thing that does not change is change itself", this also applies to Chinese tea culture. We are excited to hold a space where we create our unique experience together.
Warmly,
