Tea — A Mirror for the Self
what is satotea?
Tea as Meditation — A Path to Awareness
satotea is a tea room for quiet transformation. Through gongfu-style brewing, tea meditation and our experiential classes, each session turns into a mindful journey toward self-inquiry. With our naturally- and wild-farmed teas, paired with our highly individual approach, we offer a gateway into your inner world. For deeper exploration, our retreats offer space to slow down and reconnect with your true self.

When Life Becomes Too Much — Finding Calm and Clarity
Modern life pulls us away from ourselves and leaves us stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted and lost. satotea offers a quiet alternative — a return to simplicity, nature and presence. Instead of being on the chase in the external world, trying to escape the noise, we invite you to slow down and face life as it is. Even a single cup of tea with us can shift something within, offering calm, clarity and the quiet reminder that you are already enough.
a path not for everyone
For Those Ready to Belong
You don’t need to know tea. You don’t need to meditate. But you need to feel a quiet longing, have been searching outward for peace, only to realize the real work lies within. If you’re open-minded, curious and willing to face both light and shadow, you’ll feel at home here. satotea is not a space for short-lived comfort — it is about continuous change. It is for those ready to belong — belong to themselves.
how your journey unfolds
A Living Process, Tailored to You
Within satotea's quiet practice of repetition, awareness and presence, there is no fixed method, no rigid teachings to follow. Each session adapts to your needs. We listen. We observe. Whether in tea meditation, brewing class, during a retreat or long-term mentorship, the process — rooted in clarity, honesty, and humanity — remains alive and individual. We use naturally- and wild-farmed teas to reflect the purity of the transformation itself. Over time this simple ritual becomes a mirror. You begin to notice more. Sense finer. See clearer. And in that, you begin to change — naturally and without force.
