At Woven Roots, we have found tea to be unique in its ability to cultivate a connection with others, the self, and the natural world around us. Our main focus with Woven Roots is the tea practice called Gong Fu Cha, which we view as a path of craftsmanship, a dedicated practice to brew the best cup of tea we are capable of and craft a wonderful experience. We believe that brewing tea with this intention honors all of the generations of knowledge, craft, culture, and work that went into producing the tea we brew.

The spark for Woven Roots Teacrafts came from a piece of driftwood on the shores of Vashon Island, Washington. Our founder, Shawn, stumbled across it during the standstill of 2020, envisioning this piece of wood as a tea tray. The name “Woven Roots” describes a weaving together of different ideologies, traditions, philosophies, and artistic talent from all over the world.
