Tea for the shifting seasons. Stories for the quiet moments. A journey through time, one cup at a time.

timely, tasty, tea!
Each time that my seasonal tea journey subscription arrives i am overjoyed, because I bought myself a great gift that comes every month and a half. The whole experience is wholesome and nourishing. The tea peddler at Via Tiempo puts so much thought and care into the selection of teas to match each season. The quality of the teas is exceptional. As an avid novice tea drinker, I am delighted by all that I learn through the experience of the subscription and all of the offerings from Via Tiempo. This package is a great value!!! There is clearly hours work that goes into each element, every detail from the packaging to the descriptions is thoughtful and magical. I highly encourage all tea drinkers to consider taking the leap into an excellent tea tasting time from Via Tiempo. -Tender

Give yourself the gift of mindfulness
I have been an avid tea drinker for many years. Have passed on many tea subscriptions through the years because of many reasons, a few of the main ones- how picky I am with the quality of tea, price and quantity of tea. A friend gifted me a box of the Seasonal Tea Journey subscription for Christmas a few years ago and I was blown away. Still am, after so many boxes… each few weeks the teas selected are the perfect ones for the changing seasons, my mood and taste. One of my favorite things about tea is that it makes you slow down, sit and just be present. The subscription elevates my experience with all the components it has. The scroll and descriptions, how carefully the teas are selected according to the changing seasons, even the beautiful art on each package. Added bonus is that I get to talk to my tea obsessed friends about each box and share our experiences. Treat yourself to a box of mindfulness and savor every sip. You won’t regret it. -Yana

Boxes of wonders, perfectly timed
A couple of years ago I became an avid tea drinker, and my experience with Via Tiempo’s subscription tea has elevated my tea journey to a whole new level. The delightfully curated boxes arrive at the perfect times for the seasons. I love that the teas are always accompanied by a scroll that illuminates the essence of each tea and invites moments of quiet reflection as I savor my cup. The presentation is nothing short of magical, and the beautifully crafted labels (with seasonal tasting notes) and scrolls adds an extra layer of charm to each brew. In addition to the exquisite teas and delightful extras, I appreciate the commitment of Via Tiempo to sustainability. Each shipment is packaged in compostable pouches and I love knowing that my tea experience is not only nourishing for me but also gentle on our planet. The Tea Peddler has brought many boxes of wonders into my life over the last 4 years. Each box is an invitation to slow down, steep, and flow in harmony with the natural world. For any tea lover seeking a unique and enriching experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this subscription.-Brian

The perfect amount of tea at the right time
I’m a seasoned tea drinker with way more tea than I can drink. Via Tiempo’s “half-size” subscriptions are just enough tea to enjoy at the turn of each season, enough to feel like I got a good idea of the tea but not so much that I can’t finish it before the next subscription box arrives. I love the creative artwork, labels, and carefully worded scroll describing each tea and how it fits into the season. It’s a great way to switch things up and not feel overcommitted. -Lauren
Steep Yourself in the Rhythm of the Seasons
More than a tea subscription, Via Tiempo is a curated seasonal journey—one that invites you to slow down, savor, and connect with tea at the speed of the natural world.
Each season, we send out easy-to-love teas carefully chosen to reflect the energy of the time of year. Alongside them, the Tea Peddler’s evocative scroll opens up the quiet magic of tea culture, infusing each cup with story, tradition, and elemental resonance.

Hello, I'm the Tea Peddler and Cartomancer
I started Via Tiempo to share my love of tea. For me, tea is a bridge to the elemental world and a companion for a contemplative and artful life. As a qigong teacher in the Daoist lineage, Xiantianwujimen, I also experience tea as a way to nourish vitality and harmonize with the seasons. When you have tea with me, you’ll notice that I tend to emphasize the feeling of the tea, the way it affects you, more than the flavor. In my letters, I welcome the imaginative, evocative, or poetic quality of the tea. Lately I've been using the phrase Elemental Poetry to describe the feelings and visions tea can evoke.
My Tea Oracle deck, completed in 2024, has extended how I welcome people into contemplative life. Its archetypes hold my reflections on fifteen years of wandering through imaginal and ritual practices, reading philosophy, learning from the elements, brewing endless pots of tea, and teaching Doaist qigong and Buddhist meditation retreats. Whether sharing tea or giving a Tea Oracle reading, the timeless space that opens up in these contemplative environments is the heart of Via Tiempo.
