Hi, I’m Mike.

In my writing, I explore how the wisdom of ancient tea masters can help us live more meaningful lives today.

It might sound a bit strange. Isn’t tea just a drink? You’d be forgiven for thinking so. Turns out, much like everything in life, tea is what you make of it. Turns out some of our ancestors spent a lot of time figuring out a cup of tea is filled with the same stuff as life itself.

This newsletter is an exploration of the wisdom and insight that comes from their legacy.

In it, I share mostly my writing but sometimes the writing of others. The ideas are far more developed than a tweet, but not as complete as an essay or a book.

I plan to continue posting longer writing, educational resources, and other things on thetealetter.com. I’ll be sure to include links in the newsletter when I do.
