about

I once chased an ‘abundant life’ in banking and consulting, yet something always felt missing. No achievement filled the quiet void within. Then, a Tea Ceremony changed everything. Walking down a busy street afterward, I felt an unexpected peace settle over me. In that moment, I knew simplicity held all I had been seeking.

This led me to study Cha Dao (The Way of Tea) under my teacher, Wu De, and learn from others about tea’s culture and gifts. Tea became my practice, cultivating presence, love, and compassion, and a way to serve others. Every ceremony feels like a gentle therapy, for me and those who join.

Tea also sparked my passion for ceramics. As a tea ceremony artist, I now craft teawares by hand, pouring my heart into each piece. I believe good-quality, artisan teawares which are made with care elevate tea practice, offering joy and peace to every user. This creative work deepens my own mindfulness and connection to tea, and I’m excited to share it with you.

Beyond tea, I’ve explored Reiki healing and forest bathing, weaving nature and inner calm into my life. Based in London (with occasional trips to Hong Kong), I offer regular tea ceremonies, handmade teawares, and a space to support your tea journey.
