Let’s discuss how profound the tea scoop really is.

Among the utensils resting upon the chaxi, the scoop holds a special responsibility: it is entrusted with carrying the leaves themselves. Before they meet the bowl or pot, before the water and unfurling to offer their medicine, they are held by this humble object.

In the Way of Tea, no utensil is merely functional. Carved by hand from a single piece of bamboo or wood, a scoop carries the touch of its maker in every curve and mark of the grain. Then, as it enters a life of practice, it begins gathering new stories. Over years, a well-loved tea scoop becomes an intimate witness to our practice, seasoned by use and woven into the history of our tea table.

We are honored to welcome a new batch Master Weng Tea Scoops suitable for bowl tea and gongfu tea, each one unique and waiting to become part of your own story with Tea. Discover the collection available on the Artisan Page now.

TeaWayfarer Sofian Snn, featured in our Summer 2026 issue, shares how his first encounter with tea happened at the annual Tea and Zen retreat in Spain. In one week, we open those doors again for another 10-day immersion. If you aren’t already, we invite you to subscribe to our quarterly magazine to stay connected with this community and the world of tea we’re weaving together.

The ceremony begins long before the tea is served.

Taking the time to be with the moment allows the theme and intention to reveal itself. Arranging the chaxi is a practice of listening, helping us cultivate our sensitivity and presence—perhaps a different chabu than the one originally selected is quietly asking to support the scene.

From listening, you can feel what is most fitting and supportive for the moment. This practice fills the room with Tea spirit before the leaves are even brewed.

Introducing the newest members of the family! We have just released the Inkstone Sidehandle available in two sizes: 400ml for 3-5 people and 900ml for 6-9 people.

We have spent the last year developing some wonderful sidehandle pots for bowl tea, and are proud to bring these to the community. We tested the effects of the pour, the angle of the handle and even the shape of the button for the index finger when pouring, creating new pots from scratch that are aesthetically pleasing to us, perform well, and are made of clay that has a nice effect on water and tea. The larger size is suitable to be placed on a heat source for boiling tea.

Explore new teaware, including the Inkstone Sidehandles, on the website for a beautiful selection of new companions for the chaxi and for your practice.

Woven throughout Tea ceremony are intentional moments of pause, and one in particular may be more obvious than the others. But what is happening in this pause? It is not something to mimic without mindfulness and sincerity.

Before the leaves enter the brewing vessel, we create an opportunity to place our intentions into them—to say our prayers, and to open ourselves fully to this unique moment, acknowledging the depth of what we are receiving and how we wish for these leaves to be medicine for all.

Even if we have brewed this tea many times before, we have never met these leaves before. This echoes the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie: one chance, one encounter. Once in a lifetime.

To practice this in ceremony is to cultivate true presence, and to learn to meet the uniqueness of each moment with an open heart.

Liu Bao in the hotter months? Actually, yes!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Liu Bao is valued for its ability to help the body navigate heat and dampness—the heavy conditions that often accompany summer. Enjoy it after meals to support digestion, to encourage clarity and comfort, and to help restore balance during the warmest months of the year.

In the nineteenth century, Liu Bao became an essential companion to Chinese communities living and working throughout the hot, humid climates of southern China and Malaysia. It was carried into the tin mines, shared in family homes, offered in temples, poured in restaurants and neighborhood shops. Long before it was collected or celebrated as a vintage tea, it was simply a trusted part of daily life.

To learn more about the incredible journey and rich history of Liu Bao, comment TEA to receive an article exploring this amazing black tea.

There is a beautiful question that eventually arises for every practitioner: “Why would I brew tea one way instead of another?”

Many of you asked this upon the release of our new Gongfu Tea Set, and we’re dedicating a newsletter to answering it this week.

What we are cultivating at the tea table is a quality of attention. And a finer quality of attention is, slowly, a finer quality of being. We invite you to read the email, going out August 13, to explore the answer to this question together.

“Like flowers, we become our own art piece—walking, sitting and drinking our way through the painting that becomes our life.” Excerpt from a 2020 issue of the Magazine: Chabana, Flowers For Tea.

While the wonderful art of Chaxi weaves throughout all seasons, we tend to see the art of Chabana come to life during the months most filled with light.

The flower chosen for the chaxi is never chosen lightly. It arrives as a guest, one that speaks of the moment, the quality of light, the texture of the air. This is why the chaxi is always alive, it breathes with the season.

To sit in a tea space adorned with summer blooms is to be reminded that beauty is brief and generous all at once. That we are part of the painting. That what we bring to the table, our attention, our care, our sense of wonder, becomes the art.

Comment FLOWER to receive the full article and develop a deeper relationship to the flowers you bring to the Tea table.

There is a world of opportunities in returning to the leaves after their first infusion.

While Tea has already shared so much during the first session, remarkably, it still has more to offer! Taking the time to access these hidden and often forgotten steepings honors the hands that farmed the tea, the Earth that nourished it, and the medicine still resting within each leaf. It is a simple practice and sustainable practice and one that allows us to keep experiencing different layers of the tea.

While many people enjoy cooking with spent leaves, summer invites another beautiful tradition: cold brewing! This often reveals a softer expression of the tea, ready to accompany warm afternoons with refreshing ease.

Swipe to learn how to make a Cold Brew Tea from your spent leaves, share it with a tea friend, or save it for later.
