Our Idea
tea, paper and the journey
It all starts form the journey. Then I named it Papier & Herbs. Inspiring by the plants, papers, and activities of human walking around the world, migrate people, refugee, people in exile, the explorer, etc and other strange areas in our lives make me think about their forgotten notes, their journey, and the important thing was kind of aromas in the journey. What kind of tea and what kind of story we can make from many experiences of human living in world? We can find the stories about mountain, river, city, street, sea, vehicle, public transportation, the building, station, park, etc. And one thing that inspiring me is the letters from anonymous people in the world. Maybe it was letters that never arrived, unrequited, no reply, or has been replied, like a stack of postcards at flea markets. The missing letters. Or even letters from no man's land. Even the letter contained the scent when it was written. The aroma, taste and soul of the travel notes that I tried to find metaphorically as herbal tea and their various mixtures. Tea is like a medium that connects us with ourselves which contains the landscape of human being itself as its core.
