Our Philosophy
- We relate to tea as a medicinal herb as it was originally found in the forests of southwest China, renowned for its ability to quiet the mind, open the heart, move stagnant energy, and connect us with nature.
- We believe that not only the quality of the tea, but also the way it’s prepared, lends itself to the medicine.
- We honor brewing methods more aligned with traditional and ancient practices.
- We believe that daily tea ritual as a mindfulness practice and living art is a central component of living more consciously.
- In our digital age, we hold that true happiness lies in community and authentic human connection, free from the mediation of technology. Sharing tea offers a meaningful way to nurture and deepen these connections.

Our 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 the tea ceremony a means of sharing the extraordinary depth of Eastern traditions in the West.
Following many years of study and travel throughout Asia, Colin began sharing tea with others as a form of moving meditation and living art. Thousands of tea ceremonies later, Living Tea continues to share this way, these old-growth trees, and this ancient tradition with you.
