Tea Appreciation & Mindfulness

Join tea monk Kursten Brewer and mindfulness teacher Mudra Love for a contemplative and embodied tea drinking ritual. We’ll savor rose, pu erh, and chrysanthemum from Kursten’s unique selection of ceremonial-grade teas while embracing the full tea ritual—from holding the cup in your hands, to lifting it with intention, tasting each note on your tongue before gently swallowing.

Whether you approach tea with the seasoned steadiness of an old sage, or with the youthful enthusiasm of a fresh newbie eager to unveil mysteries, our offering here is to be a helpful guide and source for you on your journey with tea.

We warmly invite you to join us.

Kursten Brewer brings a wealth of wisdom in the art of pouring, serving, and savoring tea. Blending his deep knowledge of tea with experience in meditation and Gene Keys readings, he guides others through a process that invites quiet reflection and a deeper inward journey—all while enjoying exquisite ceremonial-grade teas.

Mudra Love is originally from Kathmandu, Nepal. Her introduction to meditation began with her father, a Buddhist monk of the Zen/ Chan tradition. Over time, she deepened her practice through training programs including Mindfulness Meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). She currently practices at a Tibetan temple in Nu’uanu.
