Three Paths to
Deeper Tea Connection
Whether you seek ongoing exploration, hands-on learning, or professional guidance, we offer pathways that honor tradition while serving your unique circumstances.
Return HomeFinding Your Entry Point
Tea culture offers many approaches to engagement, each suited to different interests and life circumstances. Some people benefit most from consistent exposure to quality teas with educational context. Others prefer intensive hands-on instruction. Still others need specialized guidance for specific projects.
We've designed three distinct offerings that address these varied needs. Each provides authentic engagement with tea traditions through different formats and timeframes. Your choice depends on what you're seeking and how you prefer to learn.
Many participants eventually engage with multiple offerings as their interests evolve. You might begin with a subscription service to develop sensory appreciation, later attend a workshop to refine technique, or seek consultation when circumstances allow deeper commitment. There's no prescribed sequence, only different entry points into ongoing exploration.
