Si Chá

Si Chá focuses on Chinese tea with a clear emphasis on Wuyi Yancha from the cliffs of Wuyishan. Working with their own family-owned plantations in Fujian and long-practised cultivation, picking and processing methods, they select leaves that carry a strong sense of place – the mineral depth, “rock rhyme” and layered aromatics that define this region. Alongside their core rock oolongs, they also offer carefully chosen white and black teas, roasted and finished to highlight clarity, structure and balance in the cup.

At UNEARTHED, Si Chá’s teas have become a natural companion to the gallery’s teaware and exhibitions. They first appeared as a small and newly-founded Frankfurt-based boutique bringing characterful Wuyishan teas to a European audience, and quickly proved to be a fitting match for makers such as YiZhi and others in our programme. Since then, their Yancha and other selections have been poured regularly at open tea tables, tastings and special events at the gallery, forming a recurring bridge between contemporary ceramics and living Chinese tea culture.
