Meet Mira
The traveling tea merchant
Mira moves slowly, wandering markets and mountain paths in search of remarkable tea and the stories that surround it. She writes to you from wherever the journey takes her, sharing what she tasted, who she met, and the small things she noticed along the way. Like a friend writing from afar, she brings you along for the journey, with a little of what she found tucked inside.
“They pour it from a great height, three times over, until it foams in the glass. I asked why and a man told me the height is the point. The sugar, he said, is not negotiable.”
She writes it by hand, from where she is
Four pages a month, written from wherever the road has put her. Not a newsletter about tea, and not a travel column — a letter, addressed to you, about a place she happens to be standing in.
The tea comes from the same place. Not simply a tea from that country, but the one that belongs to the story she just told you.

Everywhere she has been so far
Seven regions written up, from the middle of the Atlantic to the East China Sea. The Azores, Cork, the High Atlas, Ilam, Darjeeling, Fuding and Alishan.
Each one gets the whole guide, the outdoors, five places worth building a trip around, one deep dive, and the tea underneath.
Every journey opens at Letter No. 01, whoever you are and whenever you join. You are not dropped into the middle of a story that started without you.
Free, twice a month
The travel letter, without the envelope.
