Tearound, two weekends ago.

We packed our teas and cups into crates, hauled them down to PMQ, and spent three days behind a table pouring for whoever stopped by.

It was our first time at this festival, and we weren’t sure what to expect. What we found was a room full of people who love tea—from lifelong drinkers to those holding a gaiwan for the first time. Tea makers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Students. Grandparents. So many young faces.

We shared what we brought, answered questions, and listened. We also taught diancha one afternoon—a small table, a few bowls, everyone whisking at their own pace.

The three days passed in a blur of steam and conversation. By the end, our voices were hoarse and we had run out of business cards. It was the good kind of tired.

Thank you to .hk and for creating this gathering. And to everyone who came to our table: for your curiosity, your patience, and for showing up. We met new friends and found old ones. We’ll remember this one.

[Recap - Introduction to I Ching, The Book of Change, with Bernard Kwan]

The night felt special: a room full of people at all stages of their I Ching journey – some flipping through well-worn copies, others seeing hexagrams for the first time – all sipping tea as summer turned.
Guests leaned in as Bernard distilled I Ching to its core essence. Taking us through the historical context, structure, and the application as a divination tool, he shed new light on the importance of 時 timing or rhythm of life and 勢 lay of land on our daily lives and how it shapes our path. Bernard’s own journey from questioning third-culture kid to lifelong student reminded us: roots deepen when we examine them together.

Our aged pu’er, with its grounding earthiness, kept discussions flowing as we navigated the transitional period of summer solstice - a time when yang, represented by the strong, light-giving element, comes halfway to meet the weaker, yin element.

Huge thanks to .academy and  for making profound ideas feel approachable. To everyone who joined: your thoughtful questions showed how ancient wisdom breathes in modern lives.

A while back, we gathered for a truly special evening: tea, stories, and the elegant world of qipaos with the wonderful .

**What made it shine?**

Guests explored racks of 20+ vibrant Hong Kong-style qipaos 旗袍 (think bold florals and modern cuts!), picking designs that resonated with them. It was beautiful watching everyone discover how these timeless pieces adapt to contemporary life—zippers meeting silk, tailored fits for today’s movements.

Hilda then took us on a journey through qipao history: from its origins to the subtle differences between regional styles (like how a Shanghai collar contrasts with a Hong Kong silhouette). We leaned in as she explained the meticulous craft—how panels are cut on the bias for drape, why a single hand-stitched *pánkòu* 盤扣 button takes 8 hours. Her passion was contagious; you could feel it as she shared stories, her eyes lighting up at every question.

Strangers chatted about sleeve lengths while sipping; others laughed over shared awe for Hilda’s dedication. Simple moments, but exactly why we believe tea brings people together.

**Huge thanks to**:

➔ **Hilda** for her knowledge and generosity (and those stunning qipaos!)
➔ **Everyone who came** – your curiosity made the night
➔ **Our teas** – the quiet helpers that turned nerves into new connections

[Steeped in Seasons - Tea Soirée series | 茶敘歲時]

This series is an ode to the charms of tea.

Every fortnight, we gather in rhythm with the 24 solar terms, letting the seasons guide our cups. Sometimes, tea takes center stage: we’ll unravel why jasmine tea lifts our mood during 穀雨. Other times, it steps back—a warm companion as we explore 金繼’s golden scars on broken porcelain.

You might leave with a new favourite tea. Or you might leave with a new friend who quotes poetry. Both are equally likely.

[Steeped in Seasons | 茶敘歲時] Introduction to the book of Yijing (The book of changes) - Summer Solstice Specials

June marks a shift – school’s out, rain comes and goes, and the light lasts longer.

With the summer solstice (夏至) near, Bernard Kwan will show how the Yijing’s wisdom applies to daily choices – think of it like a compass for life’s twists. 

The Yijing or Book of Changes, besides being a tool for divination, is one of the foundational texts of Chinese culture and thinking. Its underlying philosophy underpins numerous fields as diverse as Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, martial arts, Chinese painting and music. But it remains mysterious and impenetrable to many people due to its archaic and symbolic language.

This talk provides a brief introduction to the Yijing, its basic structure, methodology and wider cultural influence. Bernard Kwan will also demonstrate how the Yijing can be a tool for accessing your inner intuition for better decision making and as a framework for personal growth.

**About Bernard Kwan**
Bernard is a teacher of Chinese traditional arts and has studied a number of Eastern and Western practices, which include yoga, Qigong, martial arts (Aikido, Tai Chi and Baguazhang) as well as Zen and Taoist meditation for over 25 years. He first came across the Yijing in his early 20s and has continuously engaged with the book throughout his life. He has apprenticed with several teachers in Hong Kong and Taiwan and uses it as a tool for personal development.

He currently offers classes in Qigong, Tai Chi and Baguazhang, tea meditation and also offers private coaching and mentoring services. He holds a degree in Politics Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University, a Wharton MBA and a Master in Buddhist Studies from Hong Kong University.

[JUNE CALENDAR | 六月活動]

June marks a shift – school’s out, rain comes and goes, and the light lasts longer.

In this transition, small rituals anchor us. Something as simple as brewing tea becomes a chance to reset: feeling the warmth of a cup, noticing flavours deepen with each steep. It’s also a great time for friendly chats that flow as easily as tea pouring.

With the summer solstice (夏至) near, Bernard Kwan will show how the Yijing’s wisdom applies to daily choices – think of it like a compass for life’s twists.

No need to "do" anything grand this month. Just show up, sip slowly, and let the season’s natural rhythm remind you what matters. You might leave feeling clearer, calmer, or just more connected.

六月是轉變的月份 —— 學期結束、時晴時雨、白晝變長。在這季節的流轉中,一些微小的儀式感成了我們的定心錨。譬如沖泡一壺茶這樣簡單的事,也能成為重整身心的時刻:感受杯身傳來的溫暖,留意茶味在每一次沖泡中的層次及變化。這也是適合與友人閒話家常的好時光,談笑間語意流轉,就像茶湯傾注般自然從容。

隨著夏至將近,Bernard Kwan 將分享《易經》的智慧,如何應用於日常選擇 —— 像是給生活轉彎處的指南針。這個月無須強求完成什麼宏大的目標,只需專注當下,慢慢啜飲茶湯,讓季節的自然節奏提醒我們什麼才是真正重要的事。或許當你放下茶杯時,心會變得更澄明、更平靜,或單純感覺與人更親近。

[Recap: A Tea x Sake Pairing with .peak ]

In the cozy setting at , we embarked on a bold adventure: a fusion of four pairings where the worlds of tea and sake intertwined.

Inspired by the themes in sake classification, we curated four tea x sake pairings that reflected their unique characteristics — aromatic 薰, crisp 爽, rich 醇, aged 熟. Some pairings gracefully complemented each other, amplifying the aroma, while others unveiled intriguing flavours and invoked a refreshing coolness.

To the wonderful team at ABS and Sake Peak, Brian and Blanca: Thank you for bringing this experiment to life.
To our fellow explorers: Thank you for your insatiable curiosity and for joining us on this memorable afternoon.

[茶敘歲時] 敘裳茶話|立夏特別場

「一襲旗袍,半卷茶香」

立夏,陽氣初盛,萬物舒展。
褪去厚重,換上旗袍的靈動線條,讓Hilda為你繫上第一顆手工盤扣。茶席間,冷泡龍井如西湖水浸潤舌尖,鳳凰單欉夜來香則在喉頭綻放暗香——正如旗袍之美:含蓄中藏著驚艷的伏筆。 聽Hilda細數從幼兒教育到人像攝影,再到傳統服飾「旗袍」愛好者的旅程,了解她如何讓傳統走入生活日常。

🌿 活動亮點:
▸ 立夏節氣茶席:冷泡龍井清心,夜來香單欉醒神
▸ 一釦一縐皆故事:認識傳統旗袍工藝
▸ 旗袍試穿體驗:20件旗袍親身試穿,感受旗袍的優雅

茶品

- 西湖龍井 2025
- 鳳凰單欉 - 夜來香 2024

「穿旗袍不必等場合,像喝茶不必分晨昏。」



🌿 【茶敘歲時】茶會系列|以葉為舟,以味引路
每雙週依節氣流轉,將茶山風土、陶坊掌紋與陌生人的偶遇,凝成一杯茶的時間。有時拆解龍井鮮爽裡的風土密碼,有時看金繼修復陶瓷的裂痕如修補時光。八席茶桌,容得下對坐共飲的絮語,也盛得住沖泡間找回的從容——帶走鍾情的茶味,或一個一樣鍾情瓷器的新友,兩者皆美。

沏一壺未知,讓茶葉引路。
