I’ve been slowly sipping through the journal whenever my heart is called to open the leaves of these beautifully crafted pages. Usually, it’s late at night when the world is quiet and my mind can meditate on a story that Rui spells. You can hear her voice through the words and the photos transport you to magical places in Gui Zhou where she has stepped into and cultivated relationships with masters of their crafts. I savor a few pages just like carefully twisted leaves of Master Red and Oolong and then dream of being in tea houses where human connection and culture are more valuable than monetary means and novelty. This Peace has no price.
I am so grateful, touched and excited by the GPT Journal! This was honestly one of the most interesting and thoughtful bodies of work about tea and tea culture that I've ever read.
Rui truly pours out her heart + soul (like she does her tea) and you can feel it on every page. Adriaan's vivid and poignant photography perfectly compliments Rui's content throughout the journal.

I love everything that you do and when I love something I feel like telling the entire world about it. I was deeply touched by the GPT publication. Especially the piece on simplicity because it reflected on something I've been thinking about a lot. It's was drew me to Zen Buddhism, how I aspire to live and simultaneously what I struggle with. You have articulated that feeling so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and beauty with us. I absolutely adore it!
This Magasine is an embodiment of love. Every picture, word, and space between the lines looks and more importantly feels like it was made with love to me, the reader. I want more people to meet CHINESE TEA and learn more about the culture around it.
Thank you for creating and sharing beauty.
Amazing! Can't wait to have the printed copy in my hands!
