About this Retreat
Junzi is both a tea artisan and a devoted student of the Way of Tea.
With over 16 years of experience crafting Wuyi Rock Tea and more than a decade immersed in the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, her practice is a living expression of inner cultivation.
Guided by Taoist philosophy, she stewards over 100 acres of naturally farmed tea gardens, where every leaf is grown harmoniously with the land.
Her tea-making follows time-honored methods—deep fermentation and slow charcoal roasting—to produce teas that carry depth, stillness, and the spirit of balance.
For Junzi, tea is more than a beverage—it is a way of being. To make tea is to refine the self. To serve tea is to return to center.
Man Zhang brings a rare blend of modern medical training and deep-rooted Eastern wisdom to her healing practice.
With a background in Western medicine and over ten years of experience in clinical aromatherapy, she approaches wellness through a holistic, integrative lens.
She is a certified Level 1 Aromatherapist with UshaVeda Switzerland.
A practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) non-pharmaceutical therapies and a certified Bach Flower Remedy Consultant.
Her work gently bridges science and spirit, supporting emotional balance, energy flow, and natural healing through the wisdom of plants and ancient modalities.
Whether through scent, energy, or presence, Man creates a space where the body softens, the mind clears, and the heart opens.
