„As hard as iron, as lustrous as water, as smooth as jade, and as resonant as stone.”Jianshui clay has an exceptionally high iron content, giving the fired vessels outstanding hardness. Its surface has a metallic feel to the touch, and when tapped, it produces a sound that is both metallic and stone-like. Jianshui ceramics are not coated with glaze; instead, they are meticulously polished, resulting in a glossy, radiant finish that resembles a mirror. Check out our unique collection 🙂
Jianshui is one of the four great ceramic traditions. As ancient as Yixing, yet less known in Europe, it carries a unique charm. Crafted from local clay stone, its teapots and vessels are adorned with delicate carvings and colorful inlays. As the surface is polished, the patterns reveal themselves with striking beauty. What a honour that Shen Hong Zhi, the greatest master of the Jianshui Zitao explains the technique 🤎

We think that this day not as a celebration of gender, but of the essence and qualities of femininity. So we wish you grace to uplift, support to strengthen, comfort in times of pain, acceptance without judgment, beauty that shines from within, and the gentleness that soothes the soul. Wishing everyone a truly wonderful Women’s Day! ☼

Guanyin (观音) is one of the most revered deities in Chinese Buddhism, known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Mercy. Originally derived from the Sanskrit Avalokiteśvara, who was depicted as male in India and Tibet, Guanyin gradually took on a female form in China over time. Compassion, mercy, and nurturing are often associated with feminine qualities. As a result, Guanyin transformed into a motherly, protective deity who alleviates suffering. A seated figure in white robes, often holding a lotus flower or a vase pouring out mercy upon the world.
Join us for a special tea tasting where we explore the flavors of Japanese Alps and we understand the old tea masters` expertise.

At the beginning of the Lunar New Year 🐍, traditions rooted in ancient wisdom take center stage, offering guidance and connection to the rhythms of life. One such tradition is ‘shagai’, the Mongolian art of divination using sheep or goat ankle bones. Beyond its practical origins, shagai has evolved into a sacred practice for seeking insights into the future and fostering harmony with nature’s cycles. Join our event celebrating this occasion. Please register via email fbteashop@gmail.com or in the Tea Bar. Participation fee: €30.

We are heading into a mysterious year ahead 🐍.
At this New Lunar Year’s celebration, we will receive guidance for these challenges, we will ward off evil spirits, and later our friend will read the predictions for the coming year. This way, people born under each of the 12 zodiac signs will get a glimpse of what the Year of the Snake holds for them. Naturally, the FU 福 symbol, representing luck and happiness, will not be left out. Everyone will have the chance to paint it in calligraphy and take it home. The yak butter tea will also be prepared, including a dairy-free version, spiced to perfection and made with heicha tea. Please check in advance which zodiac sign corresponds to your birth year.
~~~
We kindly ask for a contribution of 30 EUR per person to cover the cost of ink, paper, tea, yak butter, milk, and other treats. We ask you to register by sending a short email to fbteashop@gmail.com.
