Cha Qi

This collection features teas prized for their pronounced Qi, traditionally known in Chinese as “Cha Qi,” or Tea Energy. Experienced drinkers often describe Cha Qi as a felt sensation rather than a flavor, expressing itself as warmth, enhanced circulation, gentle tingling, mental clarity, or a grounded sense of calm that unfolds during and after a tea session.

Both young and aged teas can express strong Qi, but its presence depends on specific growing and production factors. Terroir, plant age, root depth, soil vitality, and harvesting practices directly influence Cha Qi. Teas grown in compromised environments or produced with aggressive processing often lack this energetic dimension, regardless of age or style.

This collection draws from clean, mineral-rich growing regions and from mature and old tea plants with deep root systems that access sustained nutrients from the land. These conditions produce teas with structure, endurance, and a tangible energetic presence. Each selection in this collection delivers the invigorating yet balanced sensations associated with high-quality Cha Qi.
