We’ve been looking for a setting where tea could be experienced as more than a product. Salon 188 felt right: art to look at, objects to discover, and space for conversation around the tea table.

Every Friday, Susanne hosts a private Cha Moods tasting here. Curated teas, brewed across multiple infusions, followed by a closer look at the current exhibition.

Private bookings for 1–6 guests. We’ll also announce occasional shared tables for anyone who would like to come alone and meet other tea people.

Round moon. Round mooncake. Tiny round cups waiting to be filled.

Mid-Autumn is built around a simple idea: good things are better when shared. So on 25 September, we’re opening the tea table at Salon 188 for a special shared session.

We’ll cut a mooncake into pieces and brew three high-mountain Dancongs—Almond, Ginger Flower and Honey Orchid—in the Chaozhou gongfucha style.

Because tea is never just about what’s inside the cup. It’s about pouring for someone else, comparing what you taste, and seeing who ends up around the table.

Come alone or bring someone with you. We’ll make the circle complete.

TEA and Music Pairing

Some teas seem to have their own tempo.

On 18 October, Chamber X Chamber joins us at Cha Moods Home for an intimate afternoon of tea and chamber music, moving between Mozart and Piazzolla.

Across the evening, we’ll pour:

Anji Baicha
Taiwan High Mountain Oolong
Taitung Red Oolong
Da Hong Pao mocktail

A private salon, music heard from only a few steps away, and cups poured throughout—an invitation to notice how aroma, texture, rhythm and silence can change the way we experience both tea and music.

Susanne has been part of Cha Moods for a while now — tasting new arrivals, working alongside us at events, and drinking more infusions than anyone has counted.

She is also an art host at .amsterdam . Here, she shares what tea and art has in common and what keeps bringing her back to Gongfu Cha.

You’ll find her hosting our Friday tea sessions at Salon 188: a small table, exceptional teas, and plenty of room to compare notes.

This wasn’t our first time in Yixing.

The first trip was about admiring — museum pieces, teapot shops, different clays and forms. Slowly getting an eye.

This spring we went back, behind the finished pot.
We visited five independent studios. A lot of tea with the makers. Seeing them spend hours on small details.

At 马晓军’s bench: 贴花, round pots, that quiet fussing with a lid until it fits.
At 邵俊芬’s studio — Senior Arts & Crafts Master — geometric takes on zisha, a different mood.
And a young apprentice whose work stayed with us.

We tried to make a half-handmade cup ourselves with the guidances of potter Ma. It’s actually a lot than it looks — and it changed how we see the craft.

About twenty pieces came home with us: traditional, playful, modern. Not from every studio. Only what we connected with.

A small Yixing selection, and more respect for the hands behind it.

Full story on our journal. Collection online too.

Monthly Edit 01.

Lately: building a tea garden, drinking prototypes, making things with friends, testing what tea sounds like, seeing what it tastes like with art and food, packing a lot of leaves — then inviting more people over to drink them.

A fairly normal month around here.

Hojicha deserves better than being known as that muddy brown latte.

At its core, it’s roasted green tea — and a good one has a lot more going on.

Ours comes from a small farm in Kagoshima, as both leaf and powder.

Leaf — sesame, ripe fruit, almost Yancha-like aromatics. Smooth and oily on the tongue, with a surprisingly long finish.

Powder — cacao, roasted barley, silky and deep. Great with milk, but good enough that it doesn’t need hiding in it.

Not bad for the tea everyone keeps drowning in milk.

Have you tried cold brewing an aged white tea cake? 🧊

This is our 2019 Baimudan. A tea we usually reach for when we want something warm and comforting — brewed hot, or even boiled to bring out its deeper, sweeter side.

But aged white tea can be surprisingly good cold too.

So we tried it two ways:
🧊 Ice brew — slowly brewed as the ice melts
💧 Cold brew — leaves straight into cold water

Same 2019 Baimudan, two quite different expressions.

Ice brew: stone fruit, floral, oily texture, sweet
Cold brew: herbaceous, jujube, crisp, more tea

Turns out aged white tea doesn’t have to wait for sweater weather. 🌞
