What We Believe

Tea  is the most popular drink worldwide, second only to water. Tea ceremony is knowledge of healthy lifestyle and balanced living through use of five elements.
Tea drinking is at least 5000 years old and carries with it a great amount of information and highest energy to clear out our mind and blast through our energy channels, unleashing our great potential as a human being. One of the major differences with tea is that it is not only a philosophy, but a philosophy wrapped around physical action. The action is relatively simple, because it goes on within boundaries of a tea table, all in front of you. Tea Master has direct impact on water and tea that is about to be brewed and as you will immediately see, tea - has a direct impact back on each one of us. All thought patterns and believes that we invest into the tea ceremony – are returned back to us in purest form of water and delicate taste, while delivering a humongous amount of vitamins, minerals, proteins, micro-elements, acids and enzymes not available through any other food source.

FOUNDER

The Tea Master

Katya Chai is the founder of Chahigh and a well-known tea master.
Her search for inner peace turned a corner in the year of 2000 when she began to learn Tea Mastership. After a year of practice and study she led her first tea ceremony – not yet knowing that it would be the beginning of an eye opening path. Her journey started with traveling through many countries of Asia, discovering ways to care for the body, mind and soul. Coming from Russia, she naturally took advantage of the herbal knowledge and homeopathy that was developed by the many tribes of the Siberian and Ural regions, where the natural secrets for longevity and health were passed on through countless generations.
Currently residing in New York City, Katya continues her tea practices and expands her teachings to others. 
You can schedule a session with Katya and Chahigh to experience the beauty and depth of the tea ceremony in a private or group setting.
