How it started

安心 - Anshin (Japanese) or Ān xīn (Chinese) share a similar meaning, that of peace of mind, a sentiment of relief and ease.

Our goal is to create a sanctuary and a safe place from the daily stress of life. Most often with stress coming from the workplace, I wanted to remind people to slow down and remember that life has more to offer. Life is about enjoying the little things, about living and breathing in the present. I believe the tea culture symbolizes just that, appreciating the little details in life, like the tea's taste and the aroma of the leaves or the company with whom you're sharing it. 

Besides the spiritual aspect, tea is scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels among other health benefits like helping regulate weight gain and blood pressure. I find that promoting a healthy habit gives me peace.

Our vision

The world is an ever flowing river of challenges that's getting faster day by day. Thus, stress is an inevitable and often unhealthy part of our lives. I, like many others, often found myself falling in robotic routines that distract me from living for myself. For me and many others, the main source of stress is the workplace. Problems not my own started seeping in my private life. The agitation didn't clock out when I did and I couldn't seem to find a moment of peace.

Once I realized this, I wanted to make a change. I started looking for habits that would make me anchored in the present and grateful for everything in life. This is how I discovered the beauty of the tea culture. I always believe that tea is just a remedy for a cold. However, tea is more. It's an ancient part of many cultures across the globe and that's why I wanted to share its beauty. A culture of appreciating the little details and living in the present.
