Earth | The Shou Collection

Body & Effect
Warms the body. Settles the stomach. Supports digestion. The kind of tea you can drink every day without thinking about it and the kind that quietly restores you when you do.
Daily medicine.
In the Space
Earth is one of the most served teas at Cloud Hidden. It's what we open cooler mornings with, what we return to on darker evenings, and what most of the team drink daily. It's also our most commonly purchased cake, a consistent favourite among anyone who's sat with us.
Brewing
Prepared in ceremony and shared in bowls from the side-handle pot. At home, brew simply: generous leaf, boiling water, short steeps. This tea doesn't need precision. It just needs to be made.
Pressed in a limited run of 700 cakes.
