the way of tea
Cha Dao is a path to enlightenment by "The Way of Tea" through the practice of emptiness. It comes from ancient Chinese lineages. Tea is a gentle medicine that brings awakened presence to our everyday lives and allows us to maintain sustained states of meditation. Mia is a student of The Leaf and is of service to Her through serving Tea around the world.
To describe tea, my relationship to tea, when I met Her, my first encounter with the Leaf should be easy, right? And yet, I struggle to put into words a relationship so simple yet so vast, so infinite and yet also tangible... Who am I without tea?
