Who are we?
At Fox Spirit Tea, we are devoted to cultivating connection, mindfulness, and community through the ancient arts of tea and movement. Rooted in Daoist traditions, we offer traditional Gongfu Cha tea service, Qigong classes, and spiritual teachings that invite a return to simplicity and presence. We proudly serve Grass People Tree living teas—beyond-organic, wild-crafted treasures—and offer thoughtfully selected teaware to deepen your personal practice. Every cup, every breath, and every gathering is an invitation to slow down and experience life more fully.
We believe tea is a bridge—between people, between worlds, between body and spirit. Alongside traditional tea ceremonies, we weave in creative offerings like Tarot readings, Chess games, and other artful experiences, creating a playful, sacred space for exploration.
Our dream is growing roots—we have opened a traditional Tea House where all are welcome to sip, breathe, and belong. Whether you join us for a cup of living tea, a movement class, or a moment of stillness, Fox Spirit Tea is here to offer something ancient and alive: a pathway back to your own wild spirit.
