Rooted in centuries of tradition, a tea ceremony offers a sacred pause in an otherwise busy world, inviting us to slow down and savour the moment. Zen monks relied on Camellia Sinensis as a health tonic and an aid to meditation and enlightenment. The Japanese tea ceremony developed under this context and was refined by Sen no Rikyū in the 16th century, who elevated it into an art form deeply embedded in Japanese cultural ideals. It continues to be practiced as a meditative ritual that brings presence, tranquility, and intention into our daily lives.
A student of the Japanese Way of Tea, Aya primarily uses tea in the form of matcha in her practice. However, as a trained herbalist, she is passionate not only about the tea plant, Camellia Sinensis, but other herbal allies whose Spirit can be imbibed ceremonially, too. She applies this metaphysical understanding into her practice and believes that ritual deepens self-awareness and helps us commune with Nature and the Divine.
Whether you're drawn to the spiritual aspects of tea or simply seeking a moment of quiet respite from a restless mind, Aya's offerings provide a sacred space to sit in silence, savour the present, and immerse yourself in the depth and beauty of this timeless tradition.
Ayurveda is an ancient healing system that, through lifestyle adjustments, brings one back in alignment with the inherent patterns and cycles in nature.
Jyotish, the eye of the Vedas, is a highly sophisticated system of astrology that guides us towards greater self-awareness and spiritual growth.
