tekuno.lounge is…
a monthly blog for art, jazz, urban ecology, and existential musings;
the lo-fi companion to Tekuno the tea company
about
i’m catherine—founder of Tekuno, a small company that sources uniquely expressive Japanese teas directly from independent, family-owned, and multi-generational producers.
this newsletter intends to be an extension of Tekuno, covering topics of similar ethos in a colloquial way (including, but not exhaustively: design, music, analog living, living by the seasons, and urban ecology). think of this as the conversational low-fi companion to our Tekuno teas and a semi-ephemeral testing ground to try on new hats to see if they fit.
how to subscribe
note: paid subscriptions are currently paused.
i occasionally share public posts that you can access by being a free subscriber.
our paid subscribers support my research for this ongoing project. by becoming a paid subscriber, you’ll receive full access to this newsletter and archive. you’ll also have access to subscriber-only content.
this newsletter also offers a Founding Membership, which, along with the aforementioned paid features, grants you a spot on Tekuno’s Patrons page.
how often do you publish?
i aim to publish every 4 weeks. my focus is quality writing and useful topics, so scheduling may vary slightly.
other works
outside of writing, i design print media and considered packaging with a focus on sustainability. you can also visit my tea company for nuanced, sensorial, directly sourced japanese teas and matcha.
