A farewell steeped in tea and time.
This tea table has been the soul of ZIYO — where charcoal glowed, silence brewed, and countless cups were poured in quiet ritual.

Now, as we gently downsize, it’s time to let this beloved piece continue its story in a new space.

Carved by nature and softened by use, the wood holds the marks of years lived with presence.
Every curve has hosted a bowl, a hand, a pause.

Available for serious homes or studios — local pickup in London preferred.
Shipping quotes for other regions can be arranged upon request.

DM or visit ziyo.space for details.
Let it become the centre of something meaningful, again.

Premium non-commercial tea tasting at ZIYO. A quiet return to charcoal, to tea, and to the art. At the heart of this experience is Wei Cha 煨茶 — a rarely practiced method of slow-brewing tea over charcoal fire. Charcoal heat is steady and gentle, allowing water to breathe, and the tea to open gradually, with presence.In my Wei Cha practice, I approach tea as one would a piece of art — through the spirit of 雕琢: sculpting, refining, revealing depth.Each material — silver, iron, clay — shapes the water differently.Each teapot or kettle brings out a new layer in the same tea — clarity, texture, roundness, warmth.This is not a tasting of tea as product, but tea as process — a living expression shaped by fire, time, and attention.£75 per personBook via ziyo.space or message me directly.— #煨茶 #雕琢

In today’s tea lesson with Albert, we focused on brewing oolong and Maofeng — two teas that shine in early summer.
-
Albert selected a porcelain teapot set in soft celadon, along with a silver kettle. His choices brought a light, refreshing atmosphere to the table — pale green and white, subtle and cooling. The silver kettle offered beautiful clarity to the water, enhancing both colour and texture — clean, smooth, and full of quiet fragrance.
-
At ZIYO, tea lessons are personal and intentional.
We explore not just brewing, but how to read a tea, how to choose the right teaware, and how different materials — clay, silver, iron, tin, copper, glass — each interact with water and leaves in distinct ways. These are not just tools, but part of the conversation with tea.
-
Lessons are one-to-one or in pairs, taught in blocks of two 120-minute sessions.
Book via www.ziyo.space or message me directly to begin your practice.

ZIYO’s Guqin Showcase | Introducing 無瑕 (Wú Xiá)
—
In this feature, we’re delighted to showcase the guqin newly owned by our student Maia — a professional-grade instrument thoughtfully selected with guidance from ZIYO.
-
This piece follows the Xiao Luo Xia (小落霞式) body form, distinguished by its soft, wave-like silhouette. The top board is made from over 100-year-old reclaimed Chinese fir (老杉木), paired with catalpa wood (梓木) underneath — a combination known for resonance and tonal depth.
-
The bridge, pegs, and feet are crafted from ebony (紫光檀), offering strength and stability. The surface is finished with multiple layers of Huajie lacquer (華節漆), infused with deer horn powder and mineral cinnabar (硃砂), resulting in a smooth, luminous polish ideal for subtle finger movement and tonal clarity.
-
Made in 2018 by one of our recommended qin craftsmen, this instrument was later named 無瑕 (Wú Xiá) — meaning flawless or pure. The inscription is rendered in Shísōng (石松), a traditional mineral pigment, adding an elegant final touch.
-
This instrument reflects not only fine materials and precise workmanship, but also the timeless philosophy that lies at the heart of guqin practice.

A Guqin lesson, a Dragon Boat tradition.

Every year around this time, Jenny brings me 粽子 (rice dumplings) — a gesture that has become its own kind of rhythm.

Though she grew up in the West, her family roots are in Beijing. Her 粽子 carries the northern style — lightly sweet, often filled with red bean or jujube — a quiet contrast to the savoury southern versions I grew up with in Taiwan.

This time, in return, I gave her a small fern bonsai — a green companion for her tea table, and perhaps a quiet reminder of the season.

Music, food, and plants — soft languages we use to stay connected.

This special green tea was given by one of our guqin student from Vietnam, it is just a friction idea to juxtapose with this punching red chaenomeles flower which is also one of my favourite flower arranging materials. The vessel and structure are deliberately minimised to show the ‘cleansing’ look to harmonise with this spring tea. 🍵🍀
