Our Philosophy
- Living Tea is powerful plant medicine that supports awakening to one's innate wisdom.
- Following the Way of Tea connects us with wholesome practices that touch every aspect of our lives. Daily tea ritual is a beautiful way to live more consciously.
- Tea was honored in the forests of southwest China and elsewhere in Asia as a spirit tonic, renowned for its ability to quiet the mind, open the heart, move stagnant energy, and connect us with nature. Only recently did it become a "common beverage." At Living Tea, we strive to honor tea as medicine.
- The medicine of tea is found through the quality of the tea, as well as the way it is mindfully prepared. We honor brewing methods more aligned with traditional and ancient practices.
- In our digital age, true happiness lies in community and authentic human connection. Sharing tea offers a meaningful way to nurture and deepen these connections.

Living Tea Founder
A Life Dedicated to Tea and Tao
Owner and founder Colin Hudon developed Living Tea through his lifelong immersion in Tea and Tao. As an herbalist, acupuncturist, and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he discovered through tea ceremony a means of sharing the extraordinary depth of Eastern traditions in the West.
Colin began sharing tea with others as a form of moving meditation and living art in 2009. After many years of study and extensive travel throughout Asia, he believes that the Way of Tea can positively transform one's life. Emphasizing the beauty of traditional tea ceremony, Living Tea is honored to share this path towards balance, harmony, wholesomeness and wholeness. We believe in the power of nature to heal, the medicine of old-growth trees, and the potency of ancient practices. May we meet eachother in each mindful cup.

SHANNON
What Our Community is Saying
"The seasonal tea club subscription has exponentially and simultaneously both deepened and elevated my practice with tea. The beautiful and thoughtful selection of teas and all of the information - the types of tea, how they represent the different elements, how to prepare them and even what temperature to brew them - are so impactful and so appreciated. The time, respect, and intention that goes into every bundle are enjoyed with every bowl. Thank you!"

And for me personally, Living Tea has been a safe and easily accessible place to learn ancient practices that make me feel more aligned to nature and gives me the tools to uncover the many layers of who I am."

What Our Community is Saying
"Upon smelling Vaporous Light, I was immediately brought back to my early days of meditation, when I would use the scent of jasmine to calm my system and center my being before a long sit. I am honored to have purchased such an intentionally harvested tea!"
SOPHIA
What Our Community is Saying
"Living Tea has transformed my mornings and my mindset. Through this practice, I’ve learned the art of slowing down and connecting with something deeper—a sense of presence and peace that had been missing from my daily life. The tactile ritual of drinking tea every morning has become my moving meditation of choice, a moment to ground myself and foster a deeper connection with my inner world. Living Tea isn’t just about tea; it’s about cultivating a way of being that nourishes the mind, body, and soul."
NICOLE
What Our Community is Saying
"Gateway of Spirit is the tea that started my tea journey. Over a long winter, I drank this tea every day. Now, it feels like an old friend. When I share it with friends, they tell me," It feels like a warm hug." I agree; this tea opens a portal to meeting yourself and receiving a warm embrace every time."

ERICA
What Our Community is Saying
"I love Riversong. It is a tea that keeps on giving. Subtle hints of sweetness in it's earthy deep taste, takes me to high levels of stillness as I sip each cup. It is also a tea I like to blend with other cake puerhs helping to extend their patience! A daily favorite. Thank you Colin for sourcing such a delicious Puerh."
