A footwear journey
"This design is about reconnecting with what we consume. It’s about slowing down – and letting a daily ritual become something personal, grounded and real. It transforms tea from something you buy into something you create."
Nearly 80% of the world’s population drinks tea every day—whether it’s herbal, traditional, or loose-leaf. But behind this daily ritual lies an industry facing major environmental and social challenges: biodiversity loss, deforestation, monoculture farming, and exploitative labor practices.
Tea is often grown in faraway plantations—sometimes in former rainforests—where industrial-scale farming damages ecosystems and disconnects people from the origins of what they consume.
But what if tea didn’t have to come from large plantations at all?
What if it could be local, seasonal, and personal?
What if people could forage, dry, store, and brew their own tea—experiencing the full process, and knowing exactly what’s in their cup?
