Dear Tea-kin,
Via Tiempo began as a way for me to serve energetically nourishing teas to my qigong friends, in the Winter of 2016. Back then, it was called Daoist Lifestyle tea. Two years later, I sat down to pen my first tea letter for the Seasonal Tea Journey, marking the true beginning of Via Tiempo as the way of time: the pleasure of a restorative relationship to tea that moves at the speed of the seasons.
Now, with the completion of the Tea Oracle, Via Tiempo enters a new phase, sharing the spirit of tea culture and contemplative life far and wide, through images and prose you can carry with you. I hope you’ll join in the magic of Via Tiempo's nourishing teas, seasonal connection, and new ways of immersing in tea culture. Let’s see what arises next!

The perfect amount of tea at the right time
I’m a seasoned tea drinker with way more tea than I can drink. Via Tiempo’s “half-size” subscriptions are just enough tea to enjoy at the turn of each season, enough to feel like I got a good idea of the tea but not so much that I can’t finish it before the next subscription box arrives. I love the creative artwork, labels, and carefully worded scroll describing each tea and how it fits into the season. It’s a great way to switch things up and not feel overcommitted. -Lauren
timely, tasty, tea!
Each time that my seasonal tea journey subscription arrives i am overjoyed, because I bought myself a great gift that comes every month and a half. The whole experience is wholesome and nourishing. The tea peddler at Via Tiempo puts so much thought and care into the selection of teas to match each season. The quality of the teas is exceptional. Each package comes with a letter about the teas and the season as well as tasting notes. As an avid novice tea drinker, I am delighted by all that I learn through the experience of the subscription and all of the offerings from Via Tiempo. This package is a great value!!! There is clearly hours work that goes into each element, every detail from the packaging to the descriptions is thoughtful and magical. I highly encourage all tea drinkers to consider taking the leap into an excellent tea tasting time from Via Tiempo. -Tender
Give yourself the gift of mindfulness
I have been an avid tea drinker for many years. Have passed on many tea subscriptions through the years because of many reasons, a few of the main ones- how picky I am with the quality of tea, price and quantity of tea. A friend gifted me a box of the Seasonal Tea Journey subscription for Christmas a few years ago and I was blown away. Still am, after so many boxes… each few weeks the teas selected are the perfect ones for the changing seasons, my mood and taste. One of my favorite things about tea is that it makes you slow down, sit and just be present. The subscription elevates my experience with all the components it has. The scroll and descriptions, how carefully the teas are selected according to the changing seasons, even the beautiful art on each package. Added bonus is that I get to talk to my tea obsessed friends about each box and share our experiences. Treat yourself to a box of mindfulness and savor every sip. You won’t regret it. -Yana
Boxes of wonders, perfectly timed
A couple of years ago I became an avid tea drinker, and my experience with Via Tiempo’s subscription tea has elevated my tea journey to a whole new level. The delightfully curated boxes arrive at the perfect times for the seasons. I love that the teas are always accompanied by a scroll that illuminates the essence of each tea and invites moments of quiet reflection as I savor my cup. The presentation is nothing short of magical, and the beautifully crafted labels (with seasonal tasting notes) and scrolls adds an extra layer of charm to each brew. In addition to the exquisite teas and delightful extras, I appreciate the commitment of Via Tiempo to sustainability. Each shipment is packaged in compostable pouches and I love knowing that my tea experience is not only nourishing for me but also gentle on our planet. The Tea Peddler has brought many boxes of wonders into my life over the last 4 years. Each box is an invitation to slow down, steep, and flow in harmony with the natural world. For any tea lover seeking a unique and enriching experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this subscription.-Brian
