​For us, tea is both a consumable beverage, and a way of life. It contains great history, cultures, narratives, aesthetics, philosophies and contents, awaiting for discoveries and explorations. For its long history of development in Asia, it has never ceased to reform and to renew. Today, we are excited to be part of the journey of witnessing and hopefully contributing to the continuous evolution of the world of tea.

Culture has many meanings. In contemporary China and Asia, tea is being explored as new tools for social exchange, artistic expression and "a little happiness " found within daily hustles to treat oneself better. In Europe, countries like the UK, Turkey and Georgie also uphold a long term relationship with tea, which over time builds unique cultures and interactions.

Ourselves, coming from a mixed background of sociology, human geography and design, are fascinated with the amount of cultural elements, human relationships and personal expressions embedded within tea culture. Therefore we want to speak through our work to express these intricately and exciting ideas. In the meaning, through design with tea, we also continue to explore the cultural intention and significant of tea in terms of connecting with our surrounding,

​

We curate a small, rotating collection of high quality loose leaf tea that we select based on a criteria that ensure it is safe (no pesticides), tasty (as it should be), transparent (a relationship with the producer and through revealing the crafting processes). These teas can be found and purchased from our website and studio space in Bucharest and Paris. At the same time they can be enjoyed during our regular tea tasting services and more special vents.

 Kakuzō Okakura: 

​

"... Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”
