For this episode, we traveled to Kyoto chasing a ritual that’s been quietly shaping Japanese life for over 800 years. At the center of it all is Randy Channell Soei, a Canadian-born tea master who has devoted his life to chado: the ancient Way of Tea.
In a world obsessed with speed, distraction, and TikTok trends, this episode slows things down. We sit with Randy in his tea room, listen to the rhythm of bamboo against ceramic, and learn how a single bowl of matcha can shift your perception of time, presence, and reality itself.
Whether you’re a matcha fanatic or have never touched the stuff, this journey might just change the way you see your daily rituals.
