A 32-metre Lebanese cedar in the heart of Geneva, where Peter lived for several weeks.

How it began

Tealogian is the work of Peter Pan, a Genevan who left school at sixteen to pursue an education beyond the classroom. He spent years travelling through more than thirty countries.

His work lies at the intersection of ethnobotany, natural medicines and disappearing traditions from around the world, and builds relationships with a network of friends, growers and suppliers developed over years of constant travel.

From the mountains of Nepal to the forests of Yunnan and the highlands of Taiwan, his travels have always followed the same devotion: to discover places where ancestral medicinal and botanical knowledge is still preserved and passed down the generations.

Tea became one part of that search. Among the tea forests of Yunnan and the high mountain gardens of Taiwan, Peter found communities still preserving centuries-old relationships between people and plants.

Today, Tealogian brings back rare pu'erh and Taiwanese teas, sourced directly from family farms and indigenous forests, and shares them around the tasting table in Geneva.
