“Her ancient teas, sourced carefully in China, are light years away from those deadened Lipton on Twinnings bags. They are actually little portals to deeper consciousness if you sit still and allow their subtle messages to pierce down into your blood and begin to speak to you. You must try her! There is deep elegance in every gesture of her ceremony, and so much to learn from these quiet little beauties.”
JJ MARTIN, founder of LA DOUBLE J
TRANSFORMATIVE SACRED EXPERIENCES TO TAKE YOUR HOTEL OFFERINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Blessings.
​
My name is LiYing, and I am a dedicated tea ceremony practitioner and curator of living tea, offering unique and transformative tea experiences tailored to the serene environments of hotel spas.
​
Imagine integrating the ancient practice of Cha Dao, the Way of Tea, into your wellness offerings, creating a sanctuary for your guests to find peace, reflection, and holistic healing...
​
What I can design for you:
​
1. Curated Spiritual Tea Ceremonies
​
Transformative Experiences: Each Tea Ceremony is designed to be a meditative journey, helping guests reconnect with their inner selves and the natural world. What sets the ceremony apart is that beyond the five senses, my spiritual Tea Ceremony emphasises the activation of the sacred within so that the participant can have a direct experience of their "Buddha-nature" in every breath, harmony, presence, and tranquillity, aligning perfectly with the restorative ambiance of a spa or wellness offering tailored to slow down.
Customised Sessions: Tailored to fit the unique ethos of your hotel spa, from intimate solo sessions to small group gatherings, I can create something bespoke to ensure a personalised and memorable experience for every guest.
2. Curating a Selection of Living Teas
​
Sourcing Premium, Living (indigenous origin, biochemical-free) Chinese Teas: I curate a selection of the finest living teas, sourced from bio-ecological tea forests and arboreal gardens. These trees carry an authentic imprint of nature as a medicine for the soul, and have wondrous wisdom and health benefits to impart in every bowl served in ceremony.
Seasonal Rotations: Offering a rotating selection of teas aligned with the seasons, each chosen for its unique properties and benefits, providing a fresh and dynamic tea experience year-round.
Benefits to Your Hotel Spa
​
A One-of-a-kind Guest Experience: Integrating Tea Ceremonies elevates the spa experience, offering guests a unique, calming ritual that complements their wellness journey.
Unique Branding: Differentiating your spa with this distinctive offering can attract a broader clientele seeking holistic and culturally enriching experiences.
Staff Enrichment: Training that aligns with sincere heart-to-heart connection can foster a deeper connection and understanding of mindfulness practices among your staff, enhancing their ability to provide exceptional service.
​
By weaving the ancient art of Tea into the fabric of your hotel spa, I create a harmonious blend of tradition and modern wellness that can potentially become a way of life that goes far beyond an experience in the hotel on their getaway or holiday.
This partnership has every intention to provide your guests with unparalleled tranquility and introspection, fostering a lasting impression and a deep sense of well-being.
​
I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and bring this serene, enriching experience to your esteemed establishment. I look forward to discussing how we can tailor these offerings to best suit your needs.
