Life In China

is a quarterly Journal born from the belief of the transformative power of ancient wisdom to illuminate our increasingly darkening world. However, this luminous legacy is often dimmed by misrepresentation and appropriation. Through storytelling and conveying the nuances of context from its origin, we hope the inaugural Cha Edition offers a glimpse into the boundless richness of ancient worldviews and what this Journal could become. 

In the past six challenging months, Adriaan and I have navigated the complexities of balancing the Journal with other aspects of the tea business. As we remain dedicated to the development of this project, we humbly seek your support in subscribing.

Thank you for sustaining this endeavour that imbues our lives with meaning and beauty.

Embodiment of love

This Magasine is an embodiment of love. Every picture, word, and space between the lines looks and more importantly feels like it was made with love to me, the reader. I want more people to meet CHINESE TEA and learn more about the culture around it.
Thank you for creating and sharing beauty.

Authentic Chinese Culture

The first edition of the LIFE IN CHINA journal is an authentic presentation of Chinese culture through the stories about tea with photography that vicariously transports the reader to the origins of tea before recorded history. Absolutely stunning! I can hardly wait for the next edition.
