Overview of Seasonal Tea Journey Options
The Choices
The Wanderer’s Way of Tea is our recommended option for most tea-drinkers, with everything you need to unlock the magic of seasonal tea. Dive into tea culture and philosophy, attune to the seasons, and explore how to make tea ritual your own—with the supportive guidance of the Tea Peddler's seasonal scrolls introducing each tea, and online gatherings with fellow wanderers.
The Wanderer’s Way of Tea—Accessibility Option is for people for whom the new price would pose too much of a burden. This may include, but is not exclusive to: families that have been strategically excluded from the accumulation of generational wealth, retired folks living on a fixed income, and those with substantial debt burdens. Please do not use this option if you are comfortable meeting basic needs and/or have savings, investments, inheritance, etc.
We also have a Just the Tea option for people who don’t need the scroll or online gatherings, and prefer a more bare bones approach.
Finally, the Peddler’s Guild is the ultimate way to experience the Seasonal Tea Journey, for adventurous Via Tiempo aficionados ready to deepen their understanding of tea, exploring the seasons from the vantage point of a Tea Peddler. Together, we get to taste some of the teas that I am choosing between, and spend time exploring and envisioning the newest and most experimental aspects of the Seasonal Tea Journey. This collaborative and fun inner circle is in addition to everything received in the Wanderer’s Way of Tea.
