🍃New Arrival — Natural Farmed White Tea, Northern Thailand

Crafted in 2023 from naturally farmed tea leaves in Northern Thailand, this white tea has developed beautifully over time. With age, its character has become increasingly rounded and harmonious, revealing layers of fruity and creamy sweetness, a silky texture, and a remarkably long, lingering finish.

The tea produces a beautiful golden liquor, with a delicate rim of fine bubbles appearing on the surface. This charming characteristic is often associated with the tea’s natural sweetness.

Gentle yet expressive, this tea is wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed throughout the year. Brew it lightly for a refreshing and elegant cup, or with greater depth for a richer, more comforting experience.

Bring it home and enjoy it whenever the moment calls for a beautiful cup of tea. 🍵

✨ AT EASE ✨
Tea Ware & Jewelry
Solo Exhibition by Chen Yu-Chieh
We are delighted to announce our upcoming exhibition featuring Taiwanese tea ware and jewelry designer Chen Yu-Chieh.
Drawing inspiration from Chinese tradition and contemporary aesthetics, Chen brings together diverse forms, materials, and techniques in works that express a beautiful balance between tranquility and liveliness.
A recurring motif throughout the exhibition is the small bird. Delicate and full of movement, these little figures seem to fly freely through the richly atmospheric world of Chen’s artistic universe—bringing a sense of lightness, freedom, and vitality to her works.
A Zen Buddhist volunteer at Dharma Drum Mountain in Taiwan, Chen sees tea as an integral part of her artistic practice.
During the exhibition, and especially at the Vernissage, Yu-Chieh will perform Zen Tea Ceremonies and share tea with visitors, creating a space for encounter, contemplation, and connection.

🍃 An evening with
Some evenings are not simply about drinking tea. They are about entering a different world.
Back in Taichung after his journey through Europe, Tea Master Cho welcomed us with an extraordinary sequence of teas and tea creations. Each cup opened another dimension of flavor, aroma and sensation.
From the delicate complexity of Wild Oriental Beauty and Bao Zhong, to the depth of High Mountain GABA Oolong and the earthy character of Brown Tea, every tea seemed to tell its own story.
And then came Cho’s experiments: Shikuwasha Cold Brew Bullet Tea, a refreshing Cold Brew Cocktail, and finally tea made from coffee bean husks and coffee leaves.
With every infusion, we were invited to slow down, taste more carefully and discover what the tea might reveal.
It was an evening of flavors, aromas and sensations – but also of connection, curiosity and well-being.
A reminder that tea can be much more than a beverage.🌿🍵

On to Sun Moon Lake 🍃
From tourist destination to tea country: at Sun Moon Lake, we discovered Taiwan Red Tea and beautiful organically grown teas.
Mr. Liang welcomed us to his organic tea garden, where we picked the youngest three leaves ourselves. It quickly became clear that tea picking is teamwork! 🍃🧺
From harvesting to tea production, education and culture, Mr. Liang opened a door into the world of tea — with heart, mind and hands.
Once again, we were reminded that tea is so much more than a beverage. It connects people, landscape, craftsmanship, knowledge and culture. ❤️

Zhushan, Nantou, Taiwan
Following the call of tea and ceramics, we made our way to Zhushan – joined by CoCo, an Austrian Sinology student researching Taiwanese tea culture and teahouses at Tunghai University.
In Zhushan, we met Mr. Lip, a second-generation tea farmer who has been cultivating his tea organically for the past ten years. Over a tasting of his Ruby White, Ruby Red and Taiwan Tea No. 23 – Qiyun, he shared his passion for tea and his commitment to tea education.
Then we headed up steep mountain roads to 1,104 metres, where his tea garden unfolds like a natural tea forest: organically grown Taiwan Native Mountain Tea and Ruby trees surrounded by bamboo.
As mist drifted gently through the tea garden, moistening the plants and moving across the landscape, we experienced a beautiful symbiosis of tea, nature and climate.
We left Zhushan with freshly produced Ruby White and Ruby Red – and with a lasting impression of the people, landscape and passion behind Taiwanese tea. 🍃🍵

Between Clay and Landscape
During our journey through northern Kyushu, we spent much of our time exploring ceramic studios and shops in Imari, Arita, and Karatsu.
The richness and intensity of ceramic craftsmanship in Saga Prefecture are truly inspiring. Among the many artists we discovered, the work of Koji Inoue and Kentarou Murayama left a particularly strong impression on us.
Koji Inoue, master of the renowned Kyozan Kiln, combines the traditional Karatsu style inherited from his father with influences from his modern art education. His work celebrates the natural texture of clay, rustic beauty, and the quiet elegance of tea ware.
Kentarou Murayama’s studio, located halfway up Mount Kagamiyama, offers an extraordinary view over the bamboo forest and Karatsu Bay, with its green, forested islands. His ceramics connect the tradition of Karatsu ware with materials from the surrounding landscape—earth, stones, and plants—while expressing a contemporary sense of simplicity, calm, and warmth.
We are very happy to be able to share some of these remarkable works with you.
✨ Visit us in September and discover the ceramics of Koji Inoue, Kentarou Murayama, and other artists from the region in our shop.

🍵 🍃 Kamairicha, Terroir und zwei besondere Teegärten
Gemeinsam mit Marjolein von Nagasaki Ikedoki Tea und Sara besuchten wir zwei kleine Teebauern in der Region um Ureshino, die ihre Teegärten ohne Pestizide und chemische Düngemittel bewirtschaften.
Bei Uenohara Kuoji entdeckten wir einen der wenigen verbliebenen Produzenten von Kamairicha. Seine Röstmaschinen stammen aus den 1970er-Jahren und wurden von seinem Vater angeschafft – heute muss er sie selbst warten und reparieren.
Besonders beeindruckte uns sein Zairai Kamairicha von Teepflanzen, die sein Großvater vor rund 60 Jahren aus Samen gepflanzt hatte: fein süß, sanft adstringierend, mit Noten von Orange und Marzipan.
Bei Tōzaka Kōichi, einem Teebauern in dritter Generation, wird experimenteller gearbeitet. Neben verschiedenen Tamaryokucha verkosteten wir Schwarztee und Hōjicha aus Herbst- und Winterernten.
Mein Favorit: der Hōjicha aus November 2025 – milchig, schokoladig, floral und leicht süß, mit einer überraschend komplexen Tiefe.
Einige wenige Proben sind bereits für unsere Verkostung in Wien abgepackt. 🍵
