Tea Oracle Collection
Artisanal Teas with a Mystical Twist
By Via Tiempo
A collection of rare teas paired with imagery and insight from Michael Busby's original Tea Oracle Deck.
A Gift of Tea, Art, & Divination
The Tea Oracle Collection brings together two deeply evocative worlds:
✔ Rare, single-farm teas, sourced with care by Via Tiempo.
✔ The Tea Oracle Deck, an original divination tool rich with imagery and meaning.
Each beautifully crafted package invites the recipient to steep a cup and receive a message—with the meaning of the image on the label illuminated in the accompanying scroll.
This is more than just tea—it’s an experience. A moment of ritual, reflection, and warmth.
Product Details
🍵18g of fine tea from single-farm, seasonal sources.
🍵Front label: An image from the Tea Oracle Deck.
🍵Back label: The tea’s name, origin, and tasting notes.
🍵Attached scroll: The interpretation from the Tea Oracle Deck, offering insight into the card’s imagery.
🍵Packaged in a compostable, stand-up pouch, fastened with twine—sustainable, elegant, and giftable.
There are 55 unique Oracle card images in the full collection, each with its own meaning and tea pairing. It lends itself to seasonal updates with new teas and images.

Note on pricing
These 18g pouches are the same size and quality as those in Via Tiempo’s popular subscription offerings. Tea sold through our “Just the Tea” option is priced at $14, while the same tea with our seasonal scroll retails for $25.
With this context, the $18 price point is both approachable and well-aligned with artisan retail. Some shops may choose to price it closer to $20–22, depending on their clientele and product positioning.
Also Available: The Tea Oracle Deck and Adventure Guidebook
For boutiques that love the art & storytelling behind this collection, the full Tea Oracle Deck is available wholesale as well. This is optional but can be a beautiful companion piece for themed displays.
✔ Wholesale pricing available for the deck.
