Music for tea
For tea rituals, spaces, and private gatherings
Primarily oriented towards ambient, traditional, and explorative music, the ‘Music for tea’ playlists have been carefully curated and crafted by Le cerf-volant to offer an auditory landscape conducive to a deeper exploration of the slow, serene, and inclusive nature of tea, while embracing its more lively, earthy, and spontaneous essence. The playback order has been deliberately considered, resulting in a balanced and enhanced experience, also expressed through the presence of interludes. These personal, contrasting selections can be played and shared at tea spaces and events of all kinds. They will be sporadically updated.
