Seed

Learn to source tea seasonally and explore how tradition is expressed in modern China.

What You'll do

In Seed, we examine seasonal transformations and discuss their impact on our bodies. We explore the health benefits of tea in the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine and discover the ancient approach to drinking tea that follows the rhythm, nuance and change inherent to the natural world.

Then, we travel from Anhui to Guangxi to explore the shifting roles of traditional culture by comparing Hui style architecture with the rapid development and industrialization of modern China.

Rong
Co-founder, Shifting Senses
"Curiosity is the beginning of understanding." says Rong Gao of her approach to tea. Born in China, she spent her formative years in her family teahouse, or as she puts it: "Tea is in my roots."

Weaving inherited cultural wisdom with her interests in anthropology, history, traditional medicine, economics and spirituality, Rong leads our Destination Tastings experiences, using intimate, first-person storytelling to illuminate and bring context to the breadth and complexity of Chinese culture over tea.
Levi
Co-founder, Shifting Senses
"When I get quiet enough to listen, tea can tell me so much about who I am. It connects me to the past, and the stories it carries hold a mirror to the present."

An inveterate coffee drinker turned lao cha gui, Levi searches to locate commonalities between seemingly disparate concepts and tea one sip at a time.
