Vol. 03 August - Digital

"How did this leaf become who it is?"

A handful of dried leaves. Hot water. A room suddenly filled with the fragrance of jasmine. That simple question leads upstream to Jiangnan, where water shapes the land. August follows the story of the leaf and the quiet decisions that reveal entirely different characters.

Inside: the waterways of Jiangnan, the story of Camellia sinensis, the Lotus, a local tea house, cold brewing, and the taste of patience. Featuring two recipes to have along with your tea.

Some things are not made, but only given time.

36 pages, directed, written and illustrated by Hibiscus Hime. A quiet journey through tea, water and late summer. Digital Version includes Mobile and Desktop downloads.
