Cha Ma Gu Dao

Tea once came to the world from the Yunnan province in southern China on the Cha Ma Gu Dao - the Old Tea-Horse Path. Over the centuries, the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant reached a wide variety of peoples and became part of everyday life there.

In the meantime, the different steps in processing the Camellia Sinensis were refined more and more, so that the variety and quality of the tea steadily increased, right up to unique tea rarities.

In our work, we dedicate ourselves to everyday teas as well as tea rarities - but ultimately, it is always about enjoying tea. Our work has proven time and again that rarities in particular are demanding teas. It is not always easy to find your way around these complex teas in particular. That is why we have founded the Society for Tea Enjoyment. We call it Cha Ma Gu Dao and would like to use it to introduce you to the beautiful teas that we discover. You can join the community by becoming a member.

The first package was sent at the end of May 2016. The selection of teas and the description of the teas can be found in the
