A second season is coming soon!
Tea Club
Explore and learn through our selection of rarities
Eastern Tea Club
Our tea club unites our Tea Academy and our Tea Tours: it takes you to tea forests and gardens, exploring a single terroir through the eyes of local farmers and experts.
Every year our tea club is divided in four chapters, one for every season of the year. Each chapter is shipped quarterly.
It is designed with the imagination of a traveler on the mountain, and village after village you make your way tasting and evaluating teas following the famous routes.
We started last year by focusing on Yunnan and Sheng Pu'er tea, slowly discovering small local productions and the flavour shades of each terroir, where the roads of Xishuangbanna have led us.
In this second season we follow other roads that will lead us through and out of Xishuangbanna, tasting diverse kind of tea and more.
A mountain experience at your tea table
In each chapter of our tea club we follow our mission: bring you with us in a multi-layered exploration, whether you are a passionate drinker, a traveller, or a tea professional.
Each shipment includes: 7-10 tea samples of about 8 - 10gr. each, a web page with information and graphics about the area and teas, access to a private community chat reserved to club members to share facts and tasting notes, and an online session with Vivian Zhang to share knowledge and impressions.
Each chapter can be purchased as a single product (until quantities last), or as a multi-chapter subscription. Annual subscribers will enjoy a 10% discount for purchases on all products on our website with each subsequent shipment.
Season two, chapter one
Coming soon
In the first chapter of the new season of our tea club we'll discover the heritage of five iconic terroir located on historical mountains.
We'll taste 8 teas, as we open our senses to new tea experiences
a first flavourful year
After a first year dedicated to Sheng Pu'er tea, we're excited to share the new teas that we personally selected for this second season. The warm participation we felt from the members of the first edition moved us to keep working and sharing.
As the countdown to the second edition has started, you can still catch up with last year contents. Few chapters are still available for purchasing, in very limited quantities.
One mountain, a thousand variation
Nannuo is the mountain we first fell in love with, and is the mountain that first saw the cultivation of the tea tree; it has a gentle and sweet name all deserved since the antique times, and it is with its soft slopes blessed by clouds and multicoloured skies that we decided to start our year of tea-club.
Variations of flowers, honey, and wilderness
Yiwu 易武 is a sequence of basins and peaks, steep hills and villages built in gentle hollows of the terrain. The roads date back at least the Qing dynasty's tea trade: the history of pu'er tea here has tangible traces, beyond the legends wild tribes bequeathed generation after generation; here there are Imperial sigils and letters, old signs and stones: here is the history, and the contemporary step of modern pu'er tea.
Where the ancestral tea started its journey
East of the great Mekong River, towards the royal court of the past: the ancient trees that now provide us with their leaves were once used to fill the cups of many emperors; thus, we are one more step in their lives, and we approach this tasting with joy and respect.
At the origin of pu'er tea
We explore extensively one of the most important mountainous terroir of Yunnan, and China all: Bulang mountain, with its precious ancient trees planted by the the people that first are know as the cultural ancestors of pu'er tea.
