Our Tea House in Tel Aviv

Our first tea tasting events were hosted back in 2018 in our home in Florentin, Tel-Aviv, out of the desire to share the unique tea that we source and export from China in our seasonal sourcing trips to East Asia. The goal was to introduce the Israeli audience to the traditional Chinese tea culture and gather a vibrant local community of tea enthusiasts who aren't willing to compromise on their cup of tea.

Hosting Tea Ceremony in Israel

Our seasonal and diverse activities - spanning from tea sourcing to hospitality and education in Israel - allow us to straddle the Israel-Hong Kong axis, two ends of the Asian continent. Since 2017, we have been conducting full-fledged seasonal activities during the winter months, including workshops, courses, tastings, and cultural events in rustic hospitality spaces (pop-up venues) and collaborations throughout the country. In January 2023, we opened our first studio in the Levinsky Market, a quiet and secluded tea house that was open for 15 consecutive months, serving as our most successful and enduring hospitality space to date.

Now, after 9 consecutive months in China and Taiwan, a considerable period during which we established an international branch and a new home in Fujian, China, we have returned to Israel for our annual winter visit. In January-February 2025 we will be holding tasting events, workshops and advanced courses on a variety of topics, in a new space in Jaffa. We invite you to join our social media platforms or contact us directly via email or WhatsApp for updates covering our journeys and activity.

Not Just a Tea House

Our initiative in researching tea cultures in East Asia includes collaborations with cultural and academic institutions, as well as culinary figures and leading chefs in Israel. Furthermore, we are involved in a wide array of international cultural events, gastronomic projects, and content that we create for tea enthusiast communities at all levels in Israel and worldwide, the most known of which is the blind tasting club, bringing together advanced tea enthusiasts from 10 countries to taste with us, our latest discoveries and developments the tea industry.

The journey to embed the wonderful virtues of Chinese tea into our society is still long, but one of our missions is to serve and make our tea and the philosophy behind it accessible in its natural places. Our partners in this journey come from various fields, having embraced the balanced and conscious lifestyle we advocate, forming a distribution arm that weaves the right connection between people and tea.

In 2024, after a decade of keeping our adventures in East Asia to ourselves, we decided to take action and handcraft an international boutique tea tour to Taiwan, first of its kind in the tea world. The innovative journey to Taiwan is focusing on wild tea growing known as Ye fang cha, along with scenes from the local cuisine, including market tours, local trends and tea pairing experiences which will also feature our Yefang tea in their menu. Our next trip to Taiwan will take place in Autumn 2025, feel free to contact us for more details.
