The general idea behind this creation was to open up a space in which music and tea can flow together in a spontaneous way. The tea was served in the bowl tea style, with charcoal boiled water, and teaware by our dear friends Petr Novak and Mirka Randova was used. Music was creating a psycho-acoustic ambient space, which allowed for the fire, the water and the teaware to join the sound flow. It was an improvisation and even though some resonant singing was planned, the 100 syllable Vajrasatva Mantra showed up unexpectedly, and later a medicine song was born in the process. We were a bit nervous at the beginning because we had never done something like this before and had not prepared much for this experience, but we really enjoyed it and now we are looking forward to do something like that again. In it's heart, this experiment is brewed in sincerity and it's powered by our desire to share something that we value in our own lives. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to share these moments with us, we hope it will be useful in your own tea sessions, meditations or just as nice background music for your life.

We were enjoying a very special shu puerh tea, made from Teng Tiao (long sweet stem) variety of 120 years old trees and bushes grown in the An Ban Zheng area, harvested in spring of 2020. This tea was fully handmade by Ms. Xiang, a small batch was fermented and later roasted in bamboo tubes, which gave it a unique taste profile. Sourced by our tea friend Anton Berbenec.

It’s old growth assamica red tea from Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan. This beyond-organic “living tea” was processed by Mr. Shu, and it was harvested from semi-wild trees that grow in his garden as well.
