Tea Spirit

Chinese tea ceremony philosophy blends Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist ideals, embodied in four principles: Harmony, Respect, Purity, and Tranquility.

Harmony

Harmony in tea represents the balance between humans and nature, and between people. From eco-friendly tea gardens to the interactions at the tea table, harmony is paramount.

Respect & Tranquility

Respect is shown through reverence for the tea, the tools, and the guests. Tranquility is found in the meditative act of brewing — focusing on the present moment.
