Monthly
$36.00
One box a month, billed each month, themed to the solar term then unfolding.
Twenty-four solar terms, twelve boxes
A cup for the turning of the year.
Mr. Chaju, an orange tabby in a scholar's blue robe, packs a small box of herbal teas each month. The blend follows the solar term that is opening — chenpi and red dates when the frost arrives, something lighter when the rain does.

How a year with the tea house goes
One shipment a month. The story of every solar term stays on the calendar, even in the months we pack for the term next door.
01
We follow the calendar
Each box is themed to the solar term unfolding when it ships. The journal keeps the other terms company.
02
You choose a cadence
Monthly, a three-month season, or a full year paid once. Cancel, or change the card, from the member desk.
03
It leaves the tea house
We pack in the ship window and hand the box to a courier. Duties, if a border asks for them, are settled locally.
Three ways to stay
Prices follow the currency you choose. Checkout charges that currency when an Airwallex price is connected.
Three months
$96.00
Three boxes, paid once. A season at the tea house.
Full year
$336.00
Twelve boxes, paid once. A full turn of the year with Mr. Chaju.

The keeper of the house
Mr. Chaju minds the kettle, the ledger, and a slightly crooked blue cap. The robe is the color of a clear day over the river.
