The house
Fine tea culture, in three forms
Integrating fine tea culture into life and business through exceptional objects, spaces and practice.
Objects
Dragon Tea Tables of petrified wood, ancient jade, teaware and tea from master Bo. Each piece is chosen as if it were the only one.
Spaces
Tea Houses for homes, hotels and businesses, built turnkey from the first vision to the first ceremony, with a team trained to hold it.
Practice
Tea ceremonies, lessons and mentorship, and A.Club, a circle by invitation. What our teachers gave us, we pass on.

Tea architecture
Silence, made into architecture

The meaningful emptiness that lets everything else resonate.

Tea & teaware
Objects with a lineage
We choose every leaf, every bowl and every object as if it were the only one. Each piece is available by personal enquiry and can be delivered worldwide.
Ask about tea & teaware
Ancient jade
Jade from the collection of Bronislav Vinogrodsky
Amulets and ritual objects from the Neolithic to the Qing dynasty, gathered by the sinologist over a lifetime.
Each piece can be seen and held in person, during a tea ceremony.
About us
We were not born into this tradition. We chose it.
We are Roman and Anastasia. For more than ten years we have studied the Way of Tea with masters in China, Taiwan and Japan, and every day here still begins with a ceremony.
From China we keep the content: tea, gongfu cha, teaware, jade, the old arts. From Japan we learned the form: the tea house, its light, its silence.
What we learn becomes a table, a bowl, a Tea House.
