72 Seasons of Tea 🍃

By Peck Gee Chua

Life, interrupted • 100+ essays and conversations on tea through Zen, Taoism, and Japanese learning • Lived in 14 cities, 7 countries • Malaysian mother of two, Kyoto-based.

Peckgee’s “72 Seasons of Tea” is my go-to online space for discovering tea practice and its cultural roots, exploring Zen and Tao in life, and appreciating Kyoto’s serene temples when I need to slow down and breathe in daily life.
