A Gentle Yet Profound Container

Typically for a morning Tea Ceremony, there will be caffeine in the tea. However, the caffeine isn’t the comparable to the caffeine in coffee. While the caffeine in tea and coffee is the same compound, the caffeine in tea is initially trapped by its own polyphenols and tannins, and is then released gradually, for up to ten hours at a time. Thus, there is no "crash," but a period of sustained stimulation. The caffeine from tea can sharpen the mind, increase concentration and eliminate fatigue, all while keeping you feeling relaxed.

Though the tea that will be served has a small amount of caffeine, it offers relaxing benefits to the nervous system and helps those who suffer with stress, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension, and other conditions. This tea will relax you deeply.

Evening Ceremonies will not have caffeine.

Each Tea Ceremony is it’s own unique journey. You will be invited to anchor into your intention and weave it with the ancient tea leaves, as we embark on meditative, internal, and alchemical journey, bowl after bowl of Tea. It is a gentle, yet profound container, offering the space of deep listening, introspection, clarity, transformation, and integration. It is a socially-low impact ceremony, supporting your own internal process.

You are invited to simply listen and be open to whatever wants to come through your journey with Tea.

This is a safe space to allow any stuck emotions, energies, or stagnancy to be able to move through your experience. There is no right or wrong way. Whatever is meant to come through and be illuminated with Tea will be.

If you are going through a time of transition, change, death, and rebirth or needing a safe space to receive nourishment and support - this container is particularly ripe for you.

Unfortunately, due to the intimate and ceremonial nature of the container - each spot for Tea Ceremonies must be reserved in advance through the scheduling links provided.

Tea Ceremonies are non-refundable, due to the limited spots available for each ceremony. However, you are able to transfer your ticket to another person prior to the ceremony and must communicate this transfer with Mandalynn. We request that you treat this ceremony as the sacred container that it is.

I, Mandalynn, do not have permission to teach Cha Dao. It’s the utmost importance to me to remain in integrity with this ceremony and lineage, in which I recommend learning deeper from the root Source of The Global Tea Hut, root teacher Wu De.

Of course, I am always available for questions and conversations in regards to Tea! But I request that if you are seeking to build your own relationship with Tea & Cha Dao, that you connect to the Source of the practice, tradition, and ceremony.
