A 32-metre Lebanese cedar in the heart of Geneva, where Peter lived for several weeks.
How it began
Tealogian is the work of two brothers, Peter and Jonathan. It grew out of the travels of Peter Pan, a Genevan who left school at sixteen to pursue an education beyond the classroom and spent years travelling through more than 80 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.
Tealogian is a family project. Peter travels and sources the teas; his brother Jonathan works alongside him, both on the road and in Geneva, organizing tastings, managing the shop and introducing the teas to a wider audience.
