Tea has the ability to meet us where we’re at, help us figure out where we’re going and lead us in the right direction.
The phases of the moon also have a profound impact on our mindset and can mirror the shifts of the seasons. It’s long been practiced that focusing our energy different ways as the moon swells and shrinks and the seasons cycle through their changes. Working with these natural revolutions can be a helpful way to channel our efforts in ways that help us flow with the changing tides instead of fighting against them.
This four-part puerh release was curated with that idea in mind. In this set, I have selected and pressed 4 different puerhs with different harvests, areas and styles to match the seasons of the moon.
This idea came to me in a dream and took 2 years of sourcing, designing and pressing to make happen. I hope you will enjoy it.
There are only 100 sets available total, 50 online and 50 in our shop.

new moon phase
Intention
Winter Warmth
The dark skies of the new moon are often likened to the coldness of winter. As the moon is shadowed by the earth, it is a time of going inward. Use this time to be cozy, think about what your needs are and the needs of your surroundings.
Where are you now, and where do you need to go? This is the planning phase.
TEA FOR THIS PHASE
Harvest: 2016 Shou Puerh Region: Yiwu, Yunnan Notes: This gong ting grade Shou Puerh steeps rich with a dark, clear liquor and smooth, full flavor that coats the entire mouth. The depth of the tea encourages deep breaths and creates a calming atmosphere to engage with yourself and set your intentions. Notes of raw cacao and rain-dampened bark emerge in each steep
Waxing MOON phase
Immersion
Spring Growth
As the moon gets more illuminated each month, imagine the green of the spring slowly emerging from the winter’s darkness. This is a time of focused growth. Use this period to channel your energy towards the goals you made in the new moon phase.
Sustained energy is the mood we seek during this time.
TEA FOR THIS PHASE
Harvest: 2024 Sheng Puerh Region: Mengku, Yunnan Notes: This sheng had a year to settle after pressing, enhancing its flavors and mellowing out the astringency associated with young sheng. It helps create a centered energy that keeps the mind focused while cleansing the palate. The tea itself offers notes of toasted cereal and fruit leather.
FULL MOON PHASE
Fruition
Summer Celebration
With the moon full in the sky, take a moment to celebrate. Bask in your accomplishments and enjoy the fruits of your labor, much like the summer months of plenty. The full moon energy can keep us awake later and ready to party.
Embrace the fullness.
TEA FOR THIS PHASE
Harvest: 2016 Shou Puerh Region: Mengku, Yunnan Notes: With a rich earthy aroma, this ripe Puerh exudes a slightly sweet, dessert-like flavor with notes of raisins. The tea is smooth and satisfying with a depth that is both grounding and uplifting, perfect to meet the full moon energy.
waning moon phase
Reflection
Autumn Leaves
As the moon slowly wanes, it is similar to the leaves falling in the autumn. It is time to prepare for the coming darkness. The waning moon autumnal energy is best used to finish projects and start building warmth.
It's time to reflect on your journey and tie up loose ends.
TEA FOR THIS PHASE
Harvest: 2020 Purple Leaf Sheng Puerh Region: JingMaiShan, Yunnan Notes: This is a unique tea that is developing unique attributes in its 5 years of aging. The tea itself is both warming and energizing with an energy that is soothing yet peppy. The flavors are slightly sweet and earthy with an aroma of freshy fallen leaves.
