An informative, relaxed and restorative journey through an ancient tradition of tea-drinking.
Unlike industrialised tea which priositises volume and profit, Living Tea is an ancient tea-making philosophy that cherishes the living quality of wild tea plants by following nature's pace throughout the entire process.
In today's world, we no longer approach tea this way. We'd love to invite you to the immersive experience of Living Tea and celebrate the ancestral insights of holistic health, culture diversity and environmental harmony.
Your perception of tea will be transformed completely.

Rui is a true blue gem, her knowledge, passion and integrity is found steeped in every part of Grass Tree People, I could not recommend her enough.”
