What this is about

For me, drinking tea is about taking a moment of quiet during the day. It’s a small break from everything—a chance to slow down and be still for a while.

I usually have one tea session a day—time away from the spinning world.

This website is essentially a Notion database I originally created to keep track of teas I enjoyed. Finding good tea online can be challenging, especially when you’re just starting out, so I thought—why not make it public? Et voilà, that’s how this page came to exist.

How It All Started

Like most things, it started casually. I drank green teas and oolongs for their aroma, flavor, and a bit of creative energy. Then a friend introduced me to Puerh. At first, I wasn’t convinced—the bitterness didn’t appeal to me, though it had an invigorating quality.

But over time, something changed. I found myself returning to it, and slowly began to feel its depth. Gong Fu Cha—the traditional Chinese method of preparing tea—made it even more intriguing. The practice gave structure and focus to the experience: no distractions, just tea. Each steep revealing a new facet of the leaves.

Eventually, I started ordering my own Pu-erh. Finding good tea online turned out to be harder than I’d imagined. But when I finally stumbled upon the clean, well-processed ones, it was like discovering a whole new world. The taste became secondary—it was about the depth, the energy, and the feel.

That’s when the notes started. I jotted down which teas resonated with me, which terroirs stood out, which producers seemed reliable. As always, things turned out to be more complex than they first appeared. So I got organized, setting up a Notion database to keep track of everything.

It’s been invaluable for finding my way through the maze of villages, regions, and teas worth coming back to. And now, I’ve made it public in case it makes someone else’s search for good tea a bit easier.”

A brief note about the numbers

Tea is never just about taste alone. There's texture, depth, how it lingers in your mouth, the subtle energy it brings—and then there's water quality, teaware selection, even your mood at the moment.

These notes started as a way for me to remember teas that really resonated with me—those with depth or something special. They’re not meant to be strict ratings, just my way of keeping track of what stood out. The tasting notes are my own take, shared as a reference. If a tea truly makes an impression, I mark it ☑️ FAV.
