Who

Cha Moods is a small, independent tea company bridging the gap between China and Amsterdam. I’m Yang, a former trader/engineer turned tea nerd, traveling between China and the Netherlands, sourcing teas from farms and mountains across the regions. Meticulous and driven by curiosity, I only source what I drink myself—nothing overhyped, just good tea.

Tea and Teaware

Chinese tea is produced in many different regions, altitude and soil, from various craftsmanships, with centuries of knowledge on propagation, thus they present different flavors, weight, strength, texture and temperature. Yet it is barely available and appreciated enough outside of mainland China and Taiwan. Our appreciation of tea spans across the process of sourcing, preparing, tasting, and feeling. Beyond tea, we also curate teaware—from raw wood-fired pieces, modern Jingdezhen ceramics, to yixing teapots from the craftsmen—because how you brew matters just as much as what you brew. We cut through the untransparency in the tea world to bring authentic, high-quality tea and teaware to our second home in Amsterdam.

Tea showering

The essence of our philosophy is embodied in our brand name, 茶沐 (Cha Moods), which translates to "tea showering." Just as a refreshing shower cleanses the body, a cup of tea cleanses the soul. It invites you to pause, look beyond the surface, and find serenity amidst the chaos.

We strive to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity. Our curated selection of teas and teaware embraces the authenticity of our roots while embracing a contemporary touch. We invite you to explore our collection and find the perfect cup of tea.
