Rooted in Nature, Nurtured by Tradition

Our story with tea is rooted in a love for Nature and the ancient wisdom of its tradition. It started with the quiet awe of touching a tea leaf in a high mountain tea garden in Nantou, Taiwan, and the profound realization that it has connected humans to the Earth for over thousands of years. Tea is more than a beverage to us; it is a living thread to ancient wisdom, a ritual of presence passed down through countless hands and cultures.

We see tea as a guide for a more mindful lifestyle, and we hope it may inspire others like yourself to see its deeper lesson. Each leaf carries its unique character, much like our own individuality that is irreplaceable and shaped by our experiences and inner spirit. Meanwhile, we don’t just drink tea. We learn to appreciate this beautiful, inherent diversity, in the cup and in each other.

Furthermore, the journey of a tea leaf from bud to cup is a testament to patient care. For essential growth and nourishment, tea requires sunlight, fertile soil, and a farmer’s loving devotion. Remove one element, the tea plant cannot reach its full potential. We see a direct parallel for the human spirit. Our own thriving requires inner light, healthy routine and lifestyle, and conscious self-love. At UNITEA, we hope others could cultivate a healthy and nourishing lifestyle with tea and apply that same gentle kindness toward themselves.

“Tea is the medicine of ten thousand ailments.”

For many years, tea has been my steadfast companion. It sustained me through the pandemic and my most challenging life moments, accompanying me on solitary hikes and quiet hours at home. In those times, it became a bridge to stillness and a deeper connection with Mother Nature. I will always be grateful for the perspective it offered, which helped guide me toward the light. I wish to share the peace, joy and reflective power that tea brought into my life, so others may also discover its unique magic on their very own personal journeys.
