little t 小 t transliterates to “little t xiao t”.

Translated it’s “little t little t”.

My hope is to share tea with those around me, no matter how small the way may appear. That they may feel a small but steady reminder of beauty in the little things.

I walked into a tea shop 10 years ago…

I’ve been making objects and spaces for tea for quite some time. Through a roundabout journey through the art world, multiple trips to Asia, looking at stars in the middle of cornfields in the Midwest, and corporate America - I always found myself back to the tea table. There’s still so much to learn and I hope to share some tea with you along the way.

…today it’s little t 小 t a tea shop that appears once in awhile.
