tea practice / mentorship

I am here to offer inspiration, guidance and companionship for your tea practice.

Below, you will find my blog where I share my experiences and insights as a student of Tea. You may also refer to the posts on my Instagram @spintheleaves. I hope they can inspire you in your tea practice. 

If you are interested in an 1:1 mentorship around ‘The Way of Tea’, you may send an email to spintheleaves@gmail.com with your intention and background. The more you share the more I can understand where you are on your tea journey, and be able to design a suitable program (in-person or remote). Ultimately this requires you to show up, be open and commit to yourself.
