About the Course
🌱 OOLONG TEA CLASS
Balance & Complexity
Oolong tea exists between categories.
It is neither fixed nor singular, but instead reflects a range of possibilities shaped by timing, technique, and intention.
This class explores how balance is created—not as a static point, but as an ongoing adjustment.
Through oolong, complexity becomes something to observe rather than simplify.
