“From the beginning, our aim has been simple: to bring more people to better tea. As the culture matures — with more awareness, curiosity, and craft — Eighty now takes a wider view.
There’s still much to discover in flavour, aroma, and origin.
But tea also shapes the way we live — in the objects we choose, the rituals we form, the spaces we inhabit.
Issue 16: Heat explores that idea — how energy, pressure, and transformation move through everything. From smoked tea in the village of Tongmu to the heat of a craftsman’s kiln; from fire shaping whisky and tea alike to the kind of heat that unsettles — the one that makes us move, rethink, and rebuild.
We hope this new perspective sparks a different kind of joy — and helps you see tea as something alive, still unfolding, part of a wider conversation about culture and design.
We can’t wait for you to hold it — to feel the new textures, take in its aroma, and step into this new chapter with us.”
— Martin, founder of Eighty
