‘Zen and tea as one’—these four words capture the profound connection between the way of tea and Zen practice. In the Zen tradition, the process of brewing and drinking tea is itself a form of meditation: focusing on the present, letting go of distractions and feeling the flow of life.
For people living in modern cities, the way of tea offers a distinctive form of spiritual practice. There is no need to meditate sitting down or recite sutras; simply sit quietly and prepare a cup of tea with care, and you can find a moment of calm amid the demands of daily life.
Reborn Tea’s founder, JAX Ruilin, established Reborn Tea around this philosophy of ‘cultivating the mind through tea’. He believes that everyone living in a city needs a space where the mind can rest, and that the way of tea is the ideal gateway to that space.
