Modern Tea Culture

We refer to tea as Liquid Meditation and for good reason; tea and meditation have been intertwined for thousands of years. Preparing and savoring tea in meditative contemplation is a wonderful way to honor yourself and balance your mind, body and soul. Considered a moving meditation, it is a way to connect with oneself on a deeper level while allowing the mind to focus on the simple task of preparing the tea, and exploring the energetic experience of the tea. Join us on Saturday May 15th to taste white, green, oolong and dark teas teas from a variety of regions within China, Taiwan and Japan as we explore the ritual foundations of tea as a spiritual practice.

Also, the new May and June tea classes at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden are up. Book soon! Check out the to see what tickles your fancy. We have some new fabulous, and interesting teas to drink and I cannot wait to share them with you!

New February Event Offering!

Full Moon Tea Ceremony • Sunset at Fairchild
Saturday February 27th 5:30pm-7:00pm

The tea ceremony is only the beginning.
I say unto you, your every act should be a ceremony.
If you can bring your consciousness, your awareness, your intelligence to the act, if you can be spontaneous, then there is no need for any other religion.
Life itself will be the religion.

We refer to tea as Liquid Meditation and for good reason. Sitting with tea in meditative contemplation is a wonderful way to honor yourself and balance your mind, body and soul. A tea ceremony is a quiet, contemplative, moving meditation, as you focus on the tea and yourself. While you sip the tea, you will relax into in the calm and stillness surrounded by the beautiful surroundings of . It’s a great way to take a break from our busy lives and to relax with a hot bowl of tea.

We will journey us through several mindfully sourced teas in a ceremony of living and experience a holistic integration of breath and space, frequency and vibration - stillness and movement.

Tea IS liquid meditation.

If you are want to do a tea mini retreat, I am also offering a Chinese Tea Tasting at Fairchild from 1 to 3pm that day!

Spend the day with me drinking tea!

Season’s greetings and best wishes to you all for a healthy, happy, and peaceful New Year!

When I teach about tea preparation, and gongfu cha we spend a bit of time discussing time. Timing in tea is a very important factor when it comes to the end result; too much time and you can over steep your leaves, and get an unpleasant cup. Too little time and you won’t get the proper representation of the tea.

As they say timing is everything.

With that being said- time of the essence to book your shopping, meditations or tea sessions at Chaguan for the month of December!

Is your tea cabinet/drawer/shelf longing for some new leaves to delight? Perhaps a new clay pot, or gaiwan to prepare your leaves?

Do you need bespoke gifts for the holiday season?

Perhaps you want to purchase tea but require more attention than our website offers?

As much as I love the convenience of shopping online, it’s not always as supportive as a face to face purchasing experience. Especially when it comes to shopping for tea!

A 30 minute private shopping appointment allows you to explore what new selections have arrived this week without coming in for a full session!

Available in person at Chaguan in Miami. Virtual appointments also available for those who reside out of the area!

Easily make your appointment online through our scheduler ( )or DM (or text) to get on the calendar.

See you soon !
