About Jordan – The tea teacher

Hi there! I’m Jordan — a traveler, storyteller, and lifelong tea enthusiast.

My journey with tea started long before I ever thought of it as a passion. Growing up, tea was a constant in my life , hot tea on quiet mornings, sun tea steeping on the porch, iced tea at every family gathering. Every birthday became a tea party, complete with tiny cups, laughter, and cake. Looking back, I guess the love for tea was brewing in me all along.

As I got older, that love turned into curiosity. At sixteen, I began reading everything I could about tea — its history, its origins, and the people who have cherished it for centuries. But I wanted more than books; I wanted to experience tea in the real world.

So I set off on my biggest adventure yet, living on a tea farm in Japan for three months. There, I worked alongside farmers, learned the traditions of Japanese tea culture, and discovered how much care and patience go into every leaf. Those three months changed how I see tea, not just as a drink, but as a living story shared across generations.

Now, my journey continues. I’m planning future travels to explore even more tea traditions, learning directly from the communities who grow, share, and celebrate it. Each stop along the way is another chance to discover how tea connects people, cultures, and stories all around the world.

This space is my travel journal, my tea diary, and my way of honoring a drink that connects us all.

Thanks for joining me on this adventure. enjoy tea
