the vietnamese word for tea. a symbol of hospitality, simplicity, presence, and connection. the entire world shared in one cup.
trà.
having tea with titi is more than just sipping from a cup; it is an act of healing and presence. the herbs she carefully selects are medicine for the body and soul, each ingredient chosen with intention. as we sit, the warmth of the tea spreads, and with it comes an unspoken appreciation for the moment and the practice—an invitation to slow down and be immersed in magic. in the quiet, stories are shared, sometimes words, and sometimes just the peace of being together. it is a ritual of connection, where time softens, and we find ourselves grounded in the simple, sacred act of being present.
meet your host…
“people love to hurry. meals are always quick, coffees are never savored, glances are fleeting, conversations brief, and it feels like this is becoming normal, that people only expect surface level and only strive for surface level in all aspects of life.
mediocre coffee, lukewarm love. convenience.
because life is scary, and when you sit with it long enough, and really listen to the silence, you notice what you’re missing, and some of what we miss, we know we will never be able to find again.” -seyda noir
