About

Where Chinese tea meets a considered yoga practice

tea.yoga is a quiet corner of the Teamotea constellation devoted to the meeting point of Chinese tea and the mat. We pair *sattvic* mornings, *prāṇāyāma* sessions and restorative evenings with leaves grown in Yunnan, Fujian, Anhui and Guangdong.

tea.yoga sits in the lifestyle corner of the Teamotea constellation, alongside tea.energy (daily alertness) and tea.fitness (performance data). Where those two sibling sites track caffeine curves and recovery numbers, tea.yoga stays with something slower — the pause before āsana, the fourth minute of a held yin shape, the seventh infusion of a cake that has rested for a decade. We are not measuring anything here. We are noticing what a particular leaf does to a particular practice, one cushion and one gàiwǎn at a time.

The site runs on four kinds of writing. Threads are open-ended — some have stayed live for years — where practitioners compare notes on timing, temperature, and (气). Cohorts are structured programs, eight to twenty-six weeks long, pairing a daily sequence with a rotating run of Chinese tea. Events are single gatherings, from a ninety-minute online evening to a four-day silent retreat in the Georgian Caucasus. Five senior tea experts — working across white, green, yellow, oolong, and aged pǔ’ěr — hold the technical thread running through all of it.

The leaf comes from the regions we return to most often: Fújiàn white tea out of Fúdǐng and Zhènghé, Ānhuī green tea including Tài Píng Hóu Kuí (太平猴魁), Guǎngdōng oolong off Fènghuáng Shān, Húnán yellow tea, Hénán green and rock-oolong training grounds, and aged pǔ’ěr traced back to Yúnnán through the old Russian — Mongolian trade corridor. We make no health claims for any of it. What we offer instead is specificity — a leaf, a temperature, a practitioner’s own report of what shifted — sourced through shop.thetea.app, shop.puerh.app, and the wider Teamotea catalogue.
