🍵 Wellness Highlights

Inspired by Water’s qualities of stillness and reserve in traditional Chinese Five Elements philosophy, this harmonious blend of six tea types celebrates a return to one’s roots—a quiet tea ritual centered on rest, reflection, and inner steadiness.

🍵 Tea Composition

A proprietary blend of six types of handcrafted wild-grown tea—green, white, yellow, oolong, black, and dark tea—in varying proportions, with aged tea as the guiding component.

🍵 Principles of the Five Elements

In Five Elements philosophy, Water corresponds to winter, symbolizing stillness, storage, and the conservation of energy. In Five Elements tea philosophy, dark tea corresponds to Water.

Tea can be understood through the balance of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Traditionally, tea is classified into six major types according to differences in processing, with the different tea types associated with the Five Elements.

Inspired by the principles of mutual generation and refinement—Metal nourishes Water, and Water nourishes Wood—the different teas in Essence Reserve come together in harmony, reflecting the quiet reserves of winter that hold the promise of renewed growth.
