A place to learn, one cup at a time.

A journal with roots in Yunnan

Hayden is from Yunnan, China, and now lives in Slovenia. His interests include pu-erh tea, photography, and the stories of the places he knows. This journal gives those interests a small home: practical reading for people who want to understand their tea.

Tealora takes its name from tea and flora. Here, the focus is on leaves, people, and a little room to learn.

How to use these notes

Begin wherever you are. Use the cup you have, read one note, and try one small thing. The goal is to become more comfortable choosing, brewing, and describing what you enjoy.

The journal is available in English and Chinese. Reference links accompany factual background; tasting exercises invite you to observe for yourself. Brewing suggestions are starting points, and instructions supplied with your particular tea take priority.
