“A thread between heaven and earth, woven in silence, steeped in time.”

Tiānbù is more than a simple tea cloth—it is a bridge between the celestial and the earthly, an offering of harmony to your tea space. The name itself carries profound meaning: Tiān (天) evokes the vastness of the heavens, the unseen forces that guide us, while Bù (布) speaks to the tangible, the woven threads that hold space for ritual and presence.

Hand-dyed using only Dian Hong tea leaves and iron rust, each Tiānbù carries the imprint of time-honored techniques, allowing the essence of nature to emerge in subtle, shifting hues. The fabric absorbs the movements of tea, softening with use, becoming a quiet witness to your practice.

As a chabu, Tiānbù serves as both a grounding element and an invitation—drawing down the cosmic and anchoring it in the moment. Whether placed on the tea table or gently folded beside your teaware, it becomes a silent companion to the unfolding of each session.

A piece of the heavens, woven into cloth, placed at the heart of tea.

The Cloth & Process

Each Tiān Bù chabu is crafted from old handwoven cloth sourced from Ukraine—textiles with a history, woven by hands long before modern industry. These fabrics, once part of everyday life, now find new purpose in tea practice.

The transformation process follows traditional natural dyeing methods, using only elements from the earth—plants, minerals, and time. No petrochemicals, no modern interventions—just the slow alchemy of nature. The result is a cloth that is alive, evolving, and infused with the essence of the land. Only 2 of this kind were created. It is double sided and can be used as a wall adornment.

A chabu is not just a textile—it is a quiet presence on the tea table, grounding each moment in something deeper, something unseen yet always felt.
