About this episode

Veronika of Bardo Tea shares her journey and the significance of tea as a meditative practice.

Veronika is the co-founder of Bardo Tea in Portland, Oregon, which specializes in single origin teas from China and Taiwan, along with the weekly practice of tea as meditation. She grew up in NYC during the 80s as a political refugee, and subsequently spent her early adulthood steeped in the NYC arts world. This story of her background, paired with deep spiritual practices surrounding meditation, astrology and mythology, informs what she offers in her weekly meditations at Bardo. Bardo is honored to be the tea purveyor and ambassador at Snowpeak. The first workshop at my first ever Snow Peak Way was a morning tea ceremony with Veronika of Bardo Tea. It was the first time I had sat with tea and experienced the journey of each cup…really taking it in with all the senses on a crisp morning at Campfield in Long Beach, Washington. I remember feeling the transfer of warmth from the cup to my hands, gazing into the tea as it reflected the leaves and trees above. It was absolutely beautiful and really set the tone for a day full of workshops. So much so that Shelby and I went to Bardo when we were in Portland the following week. This podcast is part regular episode and part tea ceremony…
