Tea Patron

Be a Tea Patron

The most personal way to take part in the expedition. As a Tea Patron, you receive all the privileges of the Connoisseur Selection while inviting me to pursue a fully customized search on your behalf.

You may share a detailed list of teas you wish to explore—from particular styles and regions to specific producers—and I will seek them out during my travels, working directly with farmers, markets, and tea merchants to locate the finest examples available.

Patrons are also invited to join small live-stream moments from the journey, where I connect with tea producers and share the search in real time. Participation is optional and depends on the rhythm of travel and visits to the tea regions.

In addition, you may commission a teapot created especially for you. By sharing a reference image or design inspiration, I will collaborate with a skilled teapot maker to have a piece crafted according to your vision—an object that reflects both your request and the spirit of the journey.

More than a selection of tea, this tier represents a form of patronage: supporting the exploration of tea culture while allowing the discoveries of the journey—both leaf and vessel—to be brought back and shared with you.
