The blessings may continue through the brew
All of these Puers feel like they are from the same family. They're energetically so special. You can tell they came from good years, good people, good energy and good earth. All the hands it came through were happy hands and the blessings may continue through the brew. Each tea has a different spirit, yet all of them are uplifting, a profound comfort where the deepest hydration and medicine are felt. These tea's have all had healing effects on my life.

ground, center, expand
Plants are our teachers and these teas have taught me so much. What I love about the curation of these clean and deliciously subtle teas is the focus on energetics. These teas, used in a ceremonial context, have been a great aid in my meditation practice, helping me to ground, center, expand, and pay attention to what's going on right in front of me, and inside my body.

Relate To The Unknown
You never know exactly what to expect when experiencing something for the first time. With tea, every sip allows us to relate to the unknown. Eventually, we can trust and befriend, rather than fear and avoid it.
Puer is always unique and complex. No harvest or brew is quite the same as another. Over the weeks, months, years, both we and the tea change with age. More sensitivity to subtlety grows. Greater appreciation for wider perception — of the sweet and bitter, of the earthy and woody, of the mountains and valleys — of life is the shift and gift.
This is Zen and tea, the way of awakening awareness to the beauty in and around us.Paul (Acupuncturist)![]()
Master Wang's goal was to create healthy changes in people's lives.
He encouraged people to radically hydrate by drinking more water. He also abstained from eating any sentient beings, so no animal products.
He taught based on ideas from Daoism, The Yellow Emperor's Book and Cha Dao or The Way of Tea.
Master Wang was born in a very traditional Chinese Buddhist family in a small village called Teng Chong in Yunnan China. He knew the power of rituals, and he brought that wisdom with him wherever he went. Having tea with him was an empowering and memorable experience for lots of people.
Master Wang held tea ceremonies and passed forward wisdom from the Yunnan culture and people to many people. He brought community together around sustainable construction projects, building a few teahouse's and permaculture spaces with the help of his students and community. He called this work karma yoga and believed that by building with recycled materials, he was clearing past karma.
What we love about tea is that is brings appreciation of art, history and culture all into one moment.
Tea is the oldest drink in the world. It is the thousands of years of love, care and protection of the tea trees and land in Yunnan that make it possible for us to enjoy these teas today.
We follow their example and vow to take care of the tea trees and lands so all of our future children can enjoy the same quality of tea as us.

What is puerh tea?
Puerh is a type of fermented tea traditionally produced in the Yunnan province of China. Known for its unique flavor and aging process, Puerh tea undergoes a fermentation and aging process that can last from several months to many years. This process gives the tea its characteristic dark color and rich, earthy taste, which can become more complex and refined over time.
There are two main types of Puerh tea: Raw (Sheng) and Ripe (Shou). Raw Puerh is made from tea leaves that are sun-dried and then compressed into cakes, bricks, or other shapes, and allowed to naturally ferment and age over time. Ripe Puerh, on the other hand, undergoes an accelerated fermentation process to simulate the aging of Raw Puerh.
Puerh tea is highly valued not only for its taste but also for its health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing cholesterol, and improving cardiovascular health. It is often enjoyed by tea connoisseurs, acupuncturists, healers, yoga teachers and collectors, with aged Puerh teas fetching high prices on the market.
Our Origin Story
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Students and lovers of tea know that a significant part of its beauty is in the preparation, patience, and wellness that it allows into our daily lives. So it is fitting that the story of Zen and Tea and its founder, Wang Hong, involves all of these things.
Master Wang cherished and lived out the beauty of his homeland’s puer tea, even as a transplant here to the United States. His commitment to health and education had its roots in the tea trees of Yunnan Province.
